The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,890 km. Therefore in one year the Earth travels a distance of 2*Pi*(149,597,890)km. This means that the velocity is about:
velocity=2*Pi*(149,597,890)km/1 year
and if we convert that to more meaningful units (knowing there is 365 days in a year, and 24 hours per day) we get:
velocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour)
So the Earth moves at about 100,000 km/h around the Sun (which is 1000 times faster than the speeds we go at on a highway!)

What is the Velocity of the earth as it revolve around the sun?
The earth revolves around the Sun at 17 miles a second or 67000 mph.
What is the average speed of earth as it travels around the sun?
Radius = 93 million miles.Circumference = 186 million (pi)Period = 1 year = 365.24 daysAverage speed = 186 million pi miles/365.24 days = 66,661 miles per hour (rounded)
How fast does Uranus rotate around the sun?
Uranus is 1,783,950,480 miles from the sun, so Uranus takes about 84.01 Earth years to complete one revolution around the Sun. Light from the Sun takes about 160 minutes to reach Uranus. Hope it helps!!
How fast does Uranus travel around the sun?
The orbital speed is about 6.80 km/sec which is roughly 15,200 mph.
What is the path the Earth Revolves on called?
ANSWERIt is a near circular orbit. I believe the eccentricity (ratio of the widest diameter of orbit to smallest diameter) is currently about 0.017. Over eons, the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit varies from nearly 0.0034 to almost 0.058 as a result of changing gravitational attractions between Earth and the other planets.DetailsAs the Earth races around the Sun at 30 km/sec (18 miles/sec). At sunrise the Earth is pushing you along the orbit and at sunset the Earth is trying to fall out from under you (at 66,000 mph!) while you are spinning around on the equator at 1040 mph (down to 0 mph at the poles).Too Much Information of NoteWhile the galaxy is moving at 666,000 mph through the universe, the Sun travels in an orbit around center of galaxy (at 560,000 mph) just as we orbit the sun (at 66,600 mph) and over a period of 1000's of years it also orbits around a local group of suns which cause u,s to travel up into the plane of the galaxy and then back down again.At a certain time of year when our equator is in the same plane as our orbit and the sun is on the eastern horizon (i.e., sunrise) and if you are standing on the equator - you are traveling in a direction that is straight overhead at 66 thousand miles per hour! Time for your Superman-in-flight pose.At any time of year at sunrise -- the direction of travel is somewhere within 23 degrees of straight overhead as well. (If you are at ## latitude then just subtract that from zenith (spot directly overhead) to be looking in the direction of earth motion).Adding all this up depending on our position in the orbit around the galaxy, the time of year, and time of day you are traveling anywhere between 1,293,640 mph! to 38,360 mph in the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy (our nearest big neighbor). It takes ~125 million years to slow down or speed up between the velocities.Each day on earth you go from 1000 mph in one direction to traveling 1000 mph in the opposite direction 12 hours later. By going into space you lose this daily rhythm. In the shuttle you change directions every 2 hours - at 18,000 mph.And No you don't slow down and speed up (I.E, You Don't Feel Acceleration), in reality its just your vector (direction that changes).
What is the Velocity of the earth as it revolve around the sun?
The earth revolves around the Sun at 17 miles a second or 67000 mph.
What speed does the earth travel through interstellar space?
As with all these "sort" of questions. Relative to what? The Earth rotates on it's axis at the equator at about 1,040 mph. The Earth revolves around the Sun at about 66,611 mph The Earth and the rest of the Solar System revolve around the central core of our Galaxy at about 515,000 mph. Our Galaxy is moving through space at about 1,342,162 mph
What is the speed of mars' orbit about the sun?
Mars travels around the sun at a little over 54,000 mph and completes an orbit in roughly 687 Earth days
How long would it take a jet to reach the sun from earth?
From the Earth to the Sun 75 MPH 160 years 500 MPH 24 years 1350 MPH (mach 2) 8.8 years 40,000 MPH (Voyager speed) 4 months
How fast does the earth rotate around the sun at?
The Earth does NOT rotate around the Sun. It has an orbital track, on which it takes one year to complete. The Earth moves along that orbital track at approximately 66,000 mph (30 km/sec). The Earth ROTATES on its own axis to give us night and day. This rotation has a speed of 1,000 mph at the Equator, 500 mph at 60 degrees N/S , and you rotate on the spot at the poles. (N/S).
How fast in MPHdoes the earth travel around the sun?
Earth's speed around the Sun is approximately 30 kilometers per second. I leave it to you to convert that to nonstandard units.
What is the escape velocity of the Sun in miles per hour?
The escape velocity of our sun is nearly 1.4 million mph(1,381,755.55 mph), about 55 times greater than Earth's.
How fast does the shadow of the sun move across the Earth's surface?
The answer is dependent on the Earth's rotation ... not the sun. Thus the answer varies from 1000 mph at the equator to zero at the poles.
How many mph does the earth travel?
The orbital speed of the Earth is 66,622 mph - 107,218 km/h
How long does it take from sun rays to reach the earth?
Average distance from Earth to the Sun is around 93,000,000 miles. The speed of light is 186,000 mps or 670,616,629 mph. Divide this into 93 million gives 0.13868 * 60 for minutes gives 8.320 minutes.
What speed does sound travel from the sun to the earth in mph?
sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel. Space is a vacuum, so sound doesn't travel from the sun to earth.
Can a Honda Civic get to 120 mph in 1 second?
Under ordinary circumstances, no. Even free falling, it would only reach around 22 mph near the surface of the earth. But release it near the surface of the sun at after 1 second, it would be falling at over 600 mph!
