Planets move fastest which are closest to their primary, the further away they are the slower they orbit. In our solar system. Mercury being the cloest to the sun orbits it in only 88 days traveling about 47 km per second, while Neptune takes about 165 years, traveling just over 5 km per second.
There are, of course, other motions to consider like the slow orbit around the galactic center or galactic cluster motions, or freak catastrophic events such as collisions or interaction with gravity from rogue objects.

What if you add heat to matter?
The atoms that make up the matter begin to move.
What best describes the motion of helium atoms in gaseous helium?
The helium atoms move quickly in all directions. This is cap
Do the atoms of gasses move faster than the atoms of solids?
In a solid the atoms are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, in a liquid the atoms are loosely packed together and can move past each other, and in a gas the atoms are far apart and move freely and collide frequently.
Why doesn't air have a fixed boiling point?
The atoms in O2 move much too quickly to boil. ;D
What happens to water molecules when they are heated?
Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)
Why can heated liquids dissolve more solvent?
i think because when you heat a liquid the atoms begin to move away from each other and the space between them increases so when you add a substance it is more likely to dissolve in it because the atoms of this substance will "fit" quickly between atoms.

When temperatures near absolute zero what process causes Atoms to begin to clump?
Condensate is when temperatures are near absolute zero and the process causes atoms to begin to clump. When the temperatures gets colder and colder, the atoms aren't able to move.

Can atoms move?
Yes atoms do move
What determines the speed of the atoms and molecules of a substace?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of an object. This is proportional to how quickly the particles move.

Condensate is when temperatures are near absolute zero and the process causes atoms to begin to clump. When the temperatures gets colder and colder, the atoms aren't able to move.
What happens to the particles when solid melts?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
