Is there a limit to heat since heat is the speed that particles move at there has got to be a limit because of the speed of light?

Probably you mean temperature, rather than heat. And the temperature is more related to a particle's ENERGY than to its SPEED. I believe the degrees of freedom also have something to do with it - something like, average kinetic energy per particle and degree of freedom. Anyway, even though more speed means more energy, larger particles will move more slowly for the same kinetic energy - and therefore they will be slower at the same temperature. Also, while the speed is limited to the speed of light, there is practically no limit to the kinetic energy a particle can have.

Why did the volcanic ash go in the air not on the ground?
The volcanic ash goes in the air because, they are air-borne materials/particles, and can easily and conviniently be carried and transported by wind, since they are light and not as dense as lava.
How did they find the size of the universe?
At present, the size of our Universe is unknown. Because light can travel no more than about 300,000 kilometers per second, and because light has only been traveling to us since the time of recombination; there is a limit on how much of our Universe we can see. How much larger is our Universe, beyond what we can presently see, is a matter of speculation.
Why electoron revolve round the neucleus?
since electrons are negative and protons are posotive, the subatomic particles attract because of the opposite charges
How fast does an object need to move to break the speed of sound?
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, which means you have to travel faster than that to break the light barrier. This feat is technically "impossible", since the faster you move, the more mass you have and the more mass you have, the more energy is required to move you, and by the time you reach the speed of light, you will need to have infinite energy. This doesn't apply to light particles, since they have no mass.
What are the rule that governs the directions of the diffusion of particles?
A law of conservation called "The Conservation of Momentum.' This law underwent severe criticism at it's introduction in the scientific community, because particles in accelerators did not seem to conserve their momentum. it has since been proven that the discrepancy is made up for by the tiny, hard-to-detect neutrino particles.
Why a shadow forms behind a tree?
Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.
Why is speed of light greater in vacuum?
Since there are essentially no particles in a vacuum to get in the light rays way. Thus less disturbance.
Does light travel as small particles?
Yes, they're called photons. I believe the small particles of light play a major role in Quantum Physics, but I studied that last year in school, and I've long since forgotten.
Would 1 bud light platinum put you over the legal limit?
Since the legal limit is a percentage of concentration in your blood, the amount it takes to put you over the limit completely depends on how much blood there is in you.
Why are there more cold particles than warm particles on one side when trying to find thermodynamic equilibrium?
There are more cold particles than warm particles because the particles attract to frozen temperatures. They do this because since the colder the temperature is usually tight the molecules tighten and there is room for only the particles to squeeze.
Why do your feet itch after walking on your hardwood floors?
As dust particles build up on your furniture, it will fall off and land on your floor after motion of air since it is very light. In those dust particles are microscopic dust mites which cause itching irritation.
Why did the volcanic ash go in the air not on the ground?
The volcanic ash goes in the air because, they are air-borne materials/particles, and can easily and conviniently be carried and transported by wind, since they are light and not as dense as lava.
When a light is shined onto an object the particles must temporarily stop as they hit the object before reflecting back to you to be perceived so what force accelerates the light particles?
Newtonian physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction - the object pushes back with the same force the light particles had. Since the speed of light cannot change without refraction, it still goes at the same speed.
Are tachyon beams faster than light?
Tachyons are hypothetical particles which can travel faster than light. But since they are so fast, none have been detected so far.

Why do scissors look shiny?
It reflects light since it is a good reflector.
Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?
Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light.
