You would have to circumnavigate the Earth (along the equator) 3733 times to travel 1 AU. If you were circling the Earth in a spaceship at an orbital altitude of 100 km, you would still have to make 3675 orbits to travel 1 AU, which represents the average distance of the Earth from the Sun.

1 AU = 149,597,870.700 km

Equatorial circumference = 40075.017 km

1.49 x 108 divided by 4.01 x 104 = 3732.946

Orbital distance at 100 km ASL = approx. 40703 km

This is not substantially more than the Earth's circumference.

How many times does the moon circle the earth in the time it takes the earth to circle the sun?

Earth takes 365 days (1 year) to revolve around Sun Moon takes 29.5 days (1 Month) to revolve around Earth So Moon would complete approx. 12 revolutions (that's why we have 12 months) in 1 Year


How many times can light travel around the world in one second?

The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers. Light travels at a speed of about 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Therefore, light can travel around the Earth about 7.5 times in one second.


How many times would all slinkys sold circle the earth?

It would be a lot more. 2 meters per 300 million slinkies would be 600 million meters (or 600 thousand kilometers), with the earth's circumference being 40,075 kilometers (or 40075000 meters). The total amount of slinkies sold would wrap around the planet 14.9719276357 times.


How long would it take for a cheetah to circle the earth?

It would take about a month.


Without sun's gravity would earth go into space in a straight line or a circle?

For the purposes of the argument, I am assuming that the earth already has a velocity (Speed and Direction). Any mass in space (i.e. a low gravity environment), would travel in a straight line until it comes into proximity of another object of sufficient mass.Basically, the earth would travel in a straight line until it came across another star, at which point it would change direction.If you want to think in bigger contexts, you could say that the earth will travel in a massive orbit around the galaxy since the galaxy's core is of sufficient mass to affect the direction of travel of earth.

What is the circle of the moon that travel around the earth?

That would be it's orbit. The moon orbits the earth in roughly a circular path.


The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?

This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.


Where would you be if you travel 30000 miles west of the equator?

On the equator, still, because the equator runs East to West on the same latitude. The Earth's diameter is about 7,918 miles, which means that moving West 30,000 miles would circle the earth 3.789 times.


How far would an astronaut travel in 24 hours if he orbited earth every 2 hours?

This depends on how high above the earth his orbit is. It is not the speed of his orbit which determines his distance travelled - the orbit is a circle and the perimeter of the circle (distance travelled) depends on the radius (height above the earth) of that circle.

How long would it take a tornado to go around the world at top speed?

The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.

How long does it take to go around the earth at light speed?

The circumference of the Earth is ~24902 miles or 40,076,000 meters. This speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. So it takes 0.134 seconds to go around the earth once.
