The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.

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.


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

Uranus moves at an average speed of about 6.8 kilometers per second (4.2 miles per second) in its orbit around the Sun. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Uranus moves at a moderate speed, slower than Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars but faster than Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.


What planets are slow moving and made of mostly rock and metal?

The slow-moving planets primarily made of rock and metal are the terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets have solid surfaces and are composed mainly of silicate rocks and metals. In our solar system, they orbit the Sun at relatively slower speeds compared to gas giants, with their orbital periods varying from about 88 days for Mercury to 687 days for Mars.


Why did it take so long to discover Uranus?

Uranus is faint and slow-moving, making it difficult to detect without telescopes or advanced equipment. Its distance from Earth also contributes to its discovery taking a longer time compared to planets closer to us. Additionally, its orbit is slow and irregular, further complicating its identification.


Why are the rotations of jovian planets shorter but their revolutions are longer?

Jovian planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have shorter rotations due to their gaseous composition and rapid spinning, which allows them to complete a rotation in just a few hours. However, their revolutions are longer because they are located farther from the Sun, resulting in a greater orbital distance that requires more time to complete one full orbit. This combination of fast rotation and slow revolution is characteristic of these massive, gaseous planets.

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 fast does Venus travel to orbit the earth?

Well Venus keeps stopping and starting and crashing because its where women come from right? so its pretty fast when it should be slow and really slow when it should be fast. good question by the way.


Is Jupiter slow to orbit around the sun or fast?

Jupiter orbits the sun much more slowly than the Earth does.

Fast and slow weathering?

Fast weathering processes include physical weathering from frost action and chemical weathering from acid rain, leading to the quick breakdown of rocks. Slow weathering processes involve gradual decomposition of rocks over time due to factors like temperature changes and slight chemical reactions, resulting in erosion and soil formation.
