Fast and slow are comparative words. Some planets orbit faster than others. The planets nearer the sun orbit faster than those farther away.

How fast does Uranus move does it move fast or slow?

It's in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, like all the planets. So its distance from the Sun varies. When it's nearest to the Sun it moves fastest. (This can be explained from the Law of Gravitation.)


How are all of the planets kept in orbit around the sun?

all the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space , that speed dosen't slow down.

How are planets kept in their orbits as they revolve around the sun?

All the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. Now you are probably wondering why the planets don't all get sucked into the sun,well it is the high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the Sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space, that speed doesn't slow down.


What planets are large fast moving and made mostly of glass?

No planet is made of glass, as far as I know. The giant planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune - are large, and made mostly of gas. However, they are not fast-moving.The inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars - are slow, fast-moving, and made basically of rock.
