What are the differences between an Australian and an Indonesian sugar glider?

There is no difference. The only difference is that it is illegal to take Australian wildlife. Most of the pet sugar gliders in the US have come from Indonesian stock.

What is the major difference between a glider and a powered airplane?
Gliders are lighter, have a much longer wingspan in comparison to its body, and lack an engine.
What is the smallest glider in the world?
The Feathertail Glider is the world's smallest glider. It ranges from 65-80 mm in size, with a mass of just 10-14 grams. Its gliding range is up to 25 metres. The Feathertail Glider lives along Australia's eastern coast, from north Queensland to Victoria.
Is an sugar glider a predator or prey?
A sugar glider is both. It is a predator of insects, but being a small, defenceless marsupial, it can also be prey of larger carnivores and birds of prey such as owls.
What are the consequences of Newton's 3 laws of motion?
If we take this simply, we can manage it. Let's take it one law at a time. First, inertia. Bodies at rest tend to remain at rest and bodies in motion tend to remain in motion. And both of those are in effect unless the body is acted upon by an outside force. For the glider, it is going to need to have some force applied for it to start flying (gliding). It will also be subject to some pretty complex forces when flying. Gravity is pulling down, and aerodynamics is supplying lift and the shape of the thing will engender drag (or "friction moving through the air" if you like). When air moves in a nonuniform way around the glider or when the control surfaces are used, things happen. There is a lot of stuff going on that has to do with inertia in a flying glider. It's inertial moment changes every microsecond (or less) as it is flying and interacting with the air. The second law of motion, that a change in motion is proportional to the force acting on a body, is tied to the first one. It takes a certain amount of force to get the mass of the glider moving to make it start to fly (or glide). The amount of force is proportional to the mass of the glider, and the more massive the glider, the more force is required to get it going. Same with changes in flight. The more massive the glider, the more force the control surfaces will have to effect to change the course of the thing. And smaller irregularities in air flow will have little affect on a more massive glider while they will affect a small, light glider more noticeably. Lastly, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a glider is in flight, any movement of the glider will move some volume of air in a given direction with a given amount of force to cause the glider to stay aloft or to change direction. When the glider pushes on air to maneuver, the air will "push back" on the glider and/or its control surfaces. Certainly it is pushing up on the underside of the wing to give the glider lift, and the air is being pushed down with equal force. Newton's laws of motion can be reviewed by using the link to the article on them posted by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.
How do you use an outdoor glider?
An outdoor glider works best with a couple of factors ideally happening. First, being up high where the wind can really catch you and give you lots of updraft is important, and secondly, having strong wind blowing in a consistent direction is good for safety.
Is a Fluffy Glider a native Australian animal?
Yes. The term "Fluffy glider" is a nickname for the Yellow-bellied glider. This marsupial is only referred to by this name in its habitat of far north Queensland.
What the diference between an glider and an airplane?
a glider does not have a motor to power it along whereas an airplane does tand that is why a glider does not stay in the air for very long
What type of Australian possum is found in the Great Dividing Range?
Many possums live in the Great Dividing Range in Australia. Species include the following, but the list is by no means exhaustive: * Common Brush-tailed possum * Ringtail possum * Mountain pygmy possum * Leadbeater's possum * Greater glider * Lesser glider * Feathertail glider * Sugar glider * Squirrel glider * Yellow-bellied glider
Is a sugar glider a cross between two animals?
No. The Sugar Glider is its own unique self.
What the difference between an glider and a flying machine?
a glider is powered by wind, a flying machine has a moter to run it
What is the difference between a hang glider and a kite?
You can hang off a hang glider but you can only fly a kite.
Difference between homologous structures and analogous?
Homologous structures are any structures that have similarity and come from the same lineage. This can be seen in the forelimbs of mammals. Analogous structures are very similar but come from different ancestors. This can be seen in the North American flying squirrel vs the Australian sugar glider. They both have similar features but come from 2 different locations. In fact, the Australian sugar glider is more related to the kangaroo than the flying squirrel
Who or what appears on the 1995 Australian one cent coin?
The last Australian 1 cent coins were minted in 1991. From their first issue in 1966, until their last issue in 1991, the Australian 1 cent coin had various portraits of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a Feather-tailed glider on the reverse.

What is the difference between a glider and an airplane?
See What are gliders on the airplane? answer.
What is the structure that enables the sugar glider move?
The skin membrane that enables the sugar glider to glide between high objects is called the patagium.
How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
