1) Two... Phobos & Deimos.
2) 1.0084 Years. (1 Jupiter year = 11.9 Earth years)
3) Pluto to the Sun = 5 913 520 000 KM. (BTW, a PLUTON is a general term used to discribe a Sun satelite with origins different from the other 8 classical planetary bodies)
4) Beta Pictoris, PSR 1257+12, PSR 0329+54
5) 1 day
6) Venus has a day of 243 Earth days, and a year of 225 Earth days. There are no known planets that have a day longer than 365 Earth days.

1) Has 2 and the names are Phobos and Deimos.
2) Jupiter's "year" is approximately 11.9 Earth years, so the answer to your question would be 1.0084
3) If you mean PLUTO (and not PLUTON) then the answer would be 3674000000 miles.
4) Rigel, Mintaka and Altair.
5) one day on Venus equals 243 Earth days.
6) The planet Venus’s day is longer than its year. It takes 225 ‘Earth’ days to rotate around the Sun (a Venusian year) and 243 ‘Earth’ days to rotate on its axis (a Venusian day).
Good enough??? Enjoy!

1 - two moons, Phobos and Deimos
2 - one year is one year no matter which planet you are standing on. Or are you asking how many times does Jupiter go around the sun in 12 years? The answer will be a little more than 1.
3 - 39.5 AU
4 - any three stars will do....Vega, Deneb and Altair come to mind first.
5 - again, 243 days is 243 days no matter where you are, but if you mean what to ask which planet takes 243 days to rotate one time, then it is Venus.
6 - Venus
Let us know how you do on the quiz....

1) Mars has 2 moons named Deimos and Phobos. They where discovered by Asaph Hall. In August 1877 he was going to give up on searching but his wife urged him to continue, he did, and he discovered them. He discovered Deimos then Phobos 6 nights after.
2) Jupiter takes 11.9 Earth years to orbit around the sun
once. So 12(earth years) devided by 11.9.
:. 12 earth years = 1.0084 Jupiterian years.
3) Pluton is 5,906,380,000 km(3,670,050,000 miles) away from
the sun. Or 7.37593 x 109 km (49.305 A.U.)
4) Proxima Centauri: Which is 4.3 light years away
Luyten 726-8A : Which is 8.2 light years away
Ross 128 : Which is 10.9 light years away
5) Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate on its axis once. So
obviously 243 Earth days = 1 Venusian day
6) Venus

Others are answering your questions already, so allow me to throw a wrench in your questions 5 and 6.
How does one define a day? Now, I realize that what you mean is the rotational period, specifically for Venus in both questions. HOWEVER, Venus rotates backward (retrograde). This creates an interesting dynamic for the sun's motion in the Venusian sky (not that the sun is actually visible from the surface, given the eternal blanket of thick clouds). First up, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east (opposite from Earth). And also because it rotates backward to its direction of orbit, the actual "day," from sunrise to sunrise, is about half of the actual rotational period, or 117 days as measured on Earth.

Many, if not most, of your questions are ambiguous...open to interpretation and assumptions that change the answers.
For example, the answer to #2 is 12 years. Why? Because a year is defined in Earth terms to be:
The period of time during which Earth completes a single revolution around the sun, consisting of 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds of mean solar time.
So despite what happens on Juptier, 12 years have expired...period.
Same deal for #5, but its the day defined in Earth terms.
Most of us I would think have some idea what you really want to ask, but you did not ask it. #2 might have read:
How many revolutions around the sun (Sol) will Juptier travel in the time Earth travels around Sol twelve times (i.e., 12 years)?
