We call it differential rotation when parts of a body move at different speeds. This is true of the gas giants, and of the sun, too.

How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
How do the speeds of various electromagnetic waves compare?
They all move at the speed of light. Wavelength varies, but the speed is the same.
What is meant by the rotation of planets?
It means they spin. They turn in space, pivoting around an invisible axis that runs from pole to pole through each planet. Different planets spin at different speeds, and their spins are not perfectly aligned with their orbits (revolution) around the Sun. The spin or rotation of the Earth is what makes the Sun appear to move across the sky.
Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.
Why is a year different on each planet?
A year is different on each planet because the planets move at different speeds (e.g. Earth takes 365 and a a quarter days to spin around the sun once and Mercury takes 88 days to orbit on its axis.
Do winds move at different speeds?
Yes.
How fast does a dwarf planet move?
The question is meaningless; different dwarf planets move at different speeds.
What was ptolemys explanation for why the planets seemed to move at different speeds?
The planets move on little circles that move on bigger circles.
What is true of all particles enclosed within a container?
They move at different speeds.
Does a 220 hertz sound wave move faster than speed as 440 hertz sound wave?
No. All sound waves in the same air move at almost exactly the same speed. If different frequencies moved at different speeds, then live orchestras, choruses, and bands would be impossible ... sounds from different instruments or voices would reach the audience in the seats at different times. It would be a mess.
Who had noted that ships move at different speeds depending on their navigational headings?
Matthew Maury
What is true of all particles gas enclosed within a container?
They move at different speeds.
What geometric form do rotations move points along?
A circle.
What is the movement of a cell is it fast or slow?
Different cells move at sightly different speeds, but due to their size, it is very slow.
What is the average speed of an object moving constant in a circle?
An object can move in a circle at different speeds.
Can objects be designed so that their shapes causes air to move different speeds above and below them?
It can
Why the planets seemed to move at different speeds?
The gravitational pull of other objects in space affect all
