The Earth travels around the sun in an orbit that is in an elliptical (oval) shape. The sun is not in the center of the oval, but nearer to one end. The point in Earth's orbit when it is closest to the sun is called the perihelion, and that is also the point when the Earth is traveling fastest in its orbit.
Where it is furthest from the sun (aphelion) is where it is traveling slowest.

How fast does the earth spin in Sacramento?
That depends on where on Earth you are standing. At the poles, the Earth hardly spins at all, but as you travel towards the equator, the rotational speed picks up
How fast does the sun travel over the earth?
The sun does not travel over the earth. The earth turns "under" the sun. As a result, the sun appears to move across the sky a the rate of about 15 degrees per hour
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Why must satellites in Leo travel very fast?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
How fast does light travel from the Sun to us on the Earth?
About 186,000 miles per hour or 300,000 kilometers per hour.
