With regard to Russia, it is the sheer size of the country that creates the challenge. A Russian Army can retreat until the supply chain of an invading Army can no longer be managed and falls of its own weight. The UK is an Island Nation with a superb Navy and Naval Tradition to its credit. The English Channel is a defensive moat that even today is a serious challenge for any Amphibious Operation.

What natural factors prevented Napoleon from conquering Russia and the United Kingdom?

The severity of the Russian winter. Plus the mass gathering of French soldiers in an adandoned Moscow inevitably resulted in ill-discipline, and ultimately the Moscow fire. As Napoleon was committed to sending so many soldiers to the East, and Britain's naval power was so immense, there was no real prospect of mounting a meaningful invasion of Britain. 'The natural' obstacle being the English Channel - although considerable British effort was spent in building shore defenses at the very beginning of the C19th (prior to the 'main' Russian conflict). Note also the difficulties of maintaining supply lines to the vast armies associated with Napoleonic warfare.
