In one year does earth completes 365 revolution?

Answer 1

The Earth moves approximately 3,728.23 miles every second.

1. The Earth is rotating (at the equator) at about 2.9 miles per second.

2. The Earth is also travelling around the Sun at a speed of about 186.1 mile per second.

3. The Sun (and thus the Earth) is travelling around the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of about 142.9 miles per second.

4. The Milky Way galaxy (and thus the Sun and the Earth) is travelling (relative to other galaxies) at a speed of about 3728.23 miles per second.

Now, the question asks "How far", and ultimately then, only the speed of the galaxy matters. The rotation has nothing to do with how far the globe itself is travelling.

And as to the speed of the Earth around the Sun, or the Sun around the galaxy, it would be like a man running around in circles on top of a little car which itself was circling around the deck of a cruise ship. He may be running fast, or the little car may be racing around fast, but it's in circles, and is not truly getting him anywhere.

If any asked, how far was the man moving, they'd just look at the speed of the cruise ship. Likewise, we need only look at the speed of our galaxy to see how far Earth moves each second. Which is why we say:

The Earth moves approximately 3,728.23 miles every second.

Answer 2

Close to 584,000,000 miles per year.

==========================

Compared to what ? Distance has to be measured fromsomething. There's

no such thing as the "real" distance, just as there's no such thing as 'real'

speed or 'real' location. They all have to refer to something else.

-- To a person standing on the moon, the Earth travels about 20 million miles

in a year.

-- To a person standing on the sun, the Earth travels about 584 million miles

in a year.

-- To a person standing on the Earth, the Earth doesn't move at all.

Answer 3

The Earth is just under 8,000 miles in diameter, so a line from ones present location, through the center of the Earth, to a point on the surface directly opposite, would be just under 8,000 miles long. The exact length varies with the altitude at each point on the surface, as well as with the specific location on the Earth in question due to the fact that the Earth is not perfectly round. See: http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzdiameter.htm among many other sites for more.

Answer 4

The Earth's orbit is actually an ellipse rather than a circle, but it only has an eccentricity of 3%, so it's close enough to being circular that the math will work.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2 times the radius of the circle times "pi", which is approximately 3.1412.

Did you know that Google is not only a search engine, but also a converter and calculator as well? So I typed "1 AU * 2 * pi in miles" in Google and got the following answer:

Answer 5

Since the Earth's orbit has a radius of about 150 million km., just multiply this by 2 x pi. The Earth's orbit is more or less a circle.

Answer 6

The Earth goes around the Sun with a speed of about 30 km. per second.

The Earth goes around the Sun with a speed of about 30 km. per second.

The Earth goes around the Sun with a speed of about 30 km. per second.

The Earth goes around the Sun with a speed of about 30 km. per second.

Answer 7

No, the Earth takes 23 hours 56 minutes to rotate on its axis. (Because the Earth is moving along in its orbit while the earth is rotating, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate enough for the Sun to go from zenith to zenith.

The earth does take 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun.

Answer 8

If it were possible for you to stand on top of the sun, watch the earth, and measure how far the earth moves in its path around you, you would estimate that the earth had traveled roughly 584 million miles in one year ... one complete orbital revolution.

Answer 9

The Earth orbits the sun at a distance of 150 million kilometres. The diameter of the orbit is therefore 300 million km. The distance Earth travels in 1 orbit is the circumference of a circle of that size (since the Earth's orbit is nearly circular.) This means it travels anput 940 million km or roughly 584 million miles (584,000,000).

Answer 10

The earth is about 24,000 miles in circumference at it's widest point, so if you followed the equator, it would be about 50,000 miles. However, if you just ran in a circle around the South Pole, you could say you'd "circled" the earth too..in about 5 feet.
