Light and radio waves travel slower through air than they do through space

or vacuum. But as soon as they leave the atmosphere and get into space or

vacuum, they speed up to 299,792,458 meters per second.

Do other planets have wind like earth?

Yes, but not all. Some planets either evolved without an atmosphere or had their atmosphere decimated by solar wind or gamma-ray bursts. If you are asking are there other habitable planets in the universe - then absolutely. We've not discovered them yet, but there are probably billions, if not trillions of habitable planets elsehwere in the universe, waiting to be discovered.

Did the universe cool from the furthest galaxy in or nearest outward?

Neither. Our position in the Universe is not priviledged in any way; it seems unlikely that it would be either the first or the last place to cool down. It is generally believed that the Universe will look the same (on a large scale), no matter where you are located. Specifically in the case of cooling down, the Universe has likely cooled down more or less the same in different places, as it expanded.

What do scientist consider everything in the universe to be?

That depends a bit what you mean by "everything". If you refer to the mass in the Universe:* About 68% of the mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy. Nobody really knows what it is. * About 27% of the mass in the Universe is in the form of dark matter. Nobody has a very clear idea what that is, either. * About 5% of the mass is things we know; mainly, things made up of atoms, such as stars, planets, etc. Of course, the Universe also contains things like space-time, fields, and particles.
