Question

Approximately how fast do you think earth is traveling in its orbit?

Answer 1

Well it spins in a complete circle once a day so...

Answer 2

speed=distance/time right?

Answer 3

About 18.5 miles per second. Go figure: distance to sun = 93 million miles so orbit length is 186 x pi million miles = 584,336,000 miles and it takes us a
year to go that far Well, not really. If Earth's orbit were a circle, that
would be correct, but it's not. Since it's an ellipse, the distance of the Earth to the Sun changes, as well as it's speed around the Sun. Some months it's moving faster than others. But that is an average speed.

Answer 4

thank you.
