Pandora is a small moon of Saturn discovered by Voyager 1 in 1980. It is about 100 kilometres in diameter, without an atmosphere and nothing like the one depicted in the movie Avatar. That Pandora is a fictional lush, Earth-like moon of the fictional planet Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri star system.
Pandora's atmosphere is similar to Earth's in the fact that there is an oxygen-nitrogen base, but other gasses make the air toxic to humans. Pandora's air contains over 18% more carbon dioxide, as well as a concentration of hydrogen sulfide; both make the air unsuitable for humans. There is also a 5.5% concentration of xenon in the atmosphere, a heavy gas which contributes to Pandora's air being about 20% denser than Earth's. Humans out on the surface make use of an exopack which filters out the toxic gasses.
The setting in the movie "Avatar" is a planet named Pandora where humans are put in a machine that looks like a tanning bed and put in the bodies of their avatars which look like the humanoids that live on the planet so they will blend in.
In the fictional universe of Avatar, the moon Pandora orbits the planet Polyphemus, located in the Alpha Centauri star system. The moon is about 4.4 light years from Earth. Using the developed interstellar ships utilizing hybrid fusion and matter-antimatter power sources, the travel time from Earth to Pandora is about 6 Earth years.

The system in which Pandora is located in is quite different than our own. Many things affect the magnetic fields on Pandora. Massive amounts of the superconductive element Unobtainuim is located beneath the surface; this element can both repel magnetic fields and trap them within itself. With the presence of this element, along with the proximity to the gas giant Polyphemus, the planet Pandora orbits, and the interaction of their respective magnetic fields, Pandora is home to erratic and intense magnetic field activity. The Hallelujah Mountains themselves are thought to be volcanic rock that was repelled from the surface by very high amounts of magnetic field activity, and cooled in midair. The chunks themselves are rich in Unobtainium and are constantly caught in a magnetic flux between the field from the Unobtainium in the craters on the surface and the mutual magnetic repulsion of the Unobtainium within the broken away pieces. This causes them to hover in midair.

no there is no rings or moons orbiting Venus. because there is no ring system.
Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system and has an extensive orbiting ring system.
Mercury
Planets do not have suns orbiting around them. Suns have planets orbiting around them. The planet in our solar system with the highest number of discovered moons orbiting around it is Jupiter, with over 100.
If a planet has a satellite, it de facto is orbiting the planet. In our solar system, Mercury and Venus do not have satellites, Earth has one, Mars two, Jupiter at least 60, as does Saturn. Uranus has 27, Neptune 13. Adn all of them orbit their planet.
There are 8 planets orbiting the Sun in our solar system.
No. BY definition, an exo-planet is OUTSIDE our solar system, orbiting some other star.
