Earth's diameter = 8000 miles X (3.14) = 25,120 mi. / 24 hr. = 1043 mph (spin)
Diameter of earths orbit = 186,000,000 mi. X (3.14) = 584,000,000 mi. /
8760 hr. = 66,666 mph (orbit)
{365 days / year X 24 hours / day = 8760 hours / year}
TOTAL SPEED = 1043 mph X 66666 mph = 6,953,638 (Figure 7M mph) plus times the rate of expansion of the universe {71 +/- 4 (km/s)/Mpc}

What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
Does the earths rotation cause the sun to remain in orbit?
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
What is the rotation speed of Saturn?
it depends on the orbit where it is launched..
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
What is earths speed in the orbit?
8600000000mph
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
Geosynchronous orbit.
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?
No.
Is the earths rotation a scientific fact?
it is. the orbit of the earth has been recorded by sattelites and other probes.
Does the earths rotation cause the sun to remain in orbit?
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
What is the rotation speed of Saturn?
it depends on the orbit where it is launched..
How does UK get four different seasons?
The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
