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.


What are the physical properties of a Meteor?

It is cold in side and incandescently hot outside and moving very fast.


Why doesnt the suns gravity cause all the planets to crash into the sun?

The planets and other small bodies of the solar system are affected by gravity. But just like the satellites that orbit the Earth, they are rapidly orbiting around the Sun*. This forward speed (their inertia) means that gravity cannot pull them in a straight line into the Sun. Instead, they "fall past" the Sun in orbits that are reasonably stable, encountering little resistance from the near-vacuum of space. As well as having moons (mini-planets of their own), planets are affected by the gravity of other planets, and have established orbits that only change very, very slowly. *The velocity of the planets varies according to the distance at which they orbit, and is a remnant of the rapidly spinning disk of gas and dust from which the Sun and planets were formed. Everything on the Earth is moving at a velocity of 29.783 km/s (107,218 km/h), counterclockwise as seen from the arbitrary terrestrial "north".


What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun's surface by gravity?

The planets are in stable orbits around the sun due to the balance between their forward motion, which wants to keep them moving in a straight line, and the sun's gravitational pull, which attracts them towards its center. This balance of forces results in the planets continuously falling towards the sun but also moving sideways fast enough to remain in a stable orbit.

Why would a fast flowing river have mostly sand sized particles of sediment?

Because the fast flow of water pushes the sand , to make it move, however slow moving water doesn't push over it as hard


Why do fast-moving predators need a large amount of food?

Fast-moving predators need a large amount of food because they burn more energy when thy are hunting. They need more food, to supply the greater amount of energy they use.
