Is metamorphic rock rough or smooth?
Metamorphic rock can be coarse grained or fine grained.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
How fast do coarse grained and fine grained rocks cool?
If the rocks are igneous then in general:- Coarse = slowly. Fine = fast. However if the rocks are metamorphic or sedimentary then grain size has nothing to do with cooling and indicates other things.

fine grained rock will weaher faster thatn the course grained rock
A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
