The real question is - in relation to what? Rotation? The Sun? In reference to rotation, it's close to 1000mph. That's 16.7778 miles per minute and 0.2778 miles per second, roughly.
A:The answer depends upon your frame of reference:
- As mentioned above, our planet rotates on its axis. This speed varies, from 0 mph at the poles to a blazing 1,038 mph at the equator.
- The Earth revolves around the sun at an average of 18.5 mps (miles per second). This translates into almost 67,000 mph!
- But in turn, our sun revolves around the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy at just over 250 mps.
- And our galaxy itself appears to be moving relative to the average velocity of the Universe at a mind-numbing 375 mps. This is a measurable fraction (0.002%, or one-fifth of 1 percent) of the speed of light itself!

What miles per second that the sunlight travels and how many minutes to reach the earth?
Light travels 186,282.4 miles per second in the vacuum of space. At that speed, it takes the light from the sun about 8 minutes and 18 seconds to reach Earth.
How many square miles is the continent of Europe?
The continent of Europe is about 3.9 million square miles in size. This is the second smallest of the continents on the planet Earth.
How many miles away is the moon from Earth?
Much less than a light-year. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; from the Moon, the light takes only a bit more than a second. The Moon is at an average distance of about 380,000 km. A light-year is about 9,500,000,000,000 km. If you divide the first number by the second, you'll get the number of light-years as a decimal.
How many miles per hour does the earth rotate around the sun?
When calculating the velocity of the earth there are three major vectors to calculate. First, the velocity of the earth as it orbits the sun. Second, the velocity as the solar system rotates around the galaxy. Third, the velocity that the Milky Way galaxy is moving through the universe. The Earth moves at 30 km/sec around the sun. The sun moves at 250 km/sec around the Milky Way and finally, the Milky Way is moving at about 300 km/second.
How many miles is it from earth to Neptune in miles?
Neptune is approximately 2.73 billion miles from Earth.
How many miles above earth can the SR-71 fly?
unofficial 22.75 miles/unofficial speed 2700 m.p.h- 3/4 of a mile every second.
