It's the other way around; the Earth goes around the Sun. The Earth is in an elliptical orbit (but not very elliptical; only about 3% difference from a perfect circle) so the speed of the Earth's movement around the Sun varies a bit.

It's moving fastest around January 4, when the Earth is closest to the Sun (called "perihelion"), and moving slowest in early July, when the Earth is farthest away (which we call "aphelion"). But on average, it's moving about 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit.

How do you work out the average speed if you ran a 7 minute mile?

Just write down exactly what you've included in the question, and eventuallysomething will look promising:--> 7 minutes per mile--> 1 mile per 7 minutes = (1 mile) / (7 minutes) = (1/7) (mile/minute)1/7th mile per minute is a perfectly good number for speed. But if it doesn't seem tomean much, you can convert it to miles per hour.1 hour is 60 minutes. So, whatever ground you can cover in one minute, you can cover60 times as much in an hour.(1/7) (mile/minute) x (60 minutes/hour) = (60/7) (mile/hour) = 8.57 mph

Can the moon be so big where it stretches a mile across the sky?

No, the moon cannot appear so big that it stretches a mile across the sky. The moon's angular size can vary slightly depending on its distance from Earth, but it is typically around half a degree in the sky, which is much smaller than a mile.


Is speed of earth faster than sound?

The Earth travels at about 66000 miles per hour around the sun, much faster than the speed of sound which is about 750 miles per hour. Even as the Earth rotates, a point on the equator travels at a little over 1000 miles per hour so parts of the planet are faster than the speed of sound even without the orbit around the sun.
