Earth's orbital velocity is about 30 kilometers per second. That should be approximately the speed you mention in the question.

∙ 14y agoThat's in the right ballpark, although the "average velocity" during a complete orbit is zero - because after 365.24 days, the Earth is right back where it started. The average SPEED during an orbit is perhaps a little higher than 66Kmph, but not significantly more.
The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. The Earth is traveling faster near perihelion (our nearest approach to the Sun on January 4, and slower at aphelion on July 4. So here in February, the Earth is actually slowing down just a little bit.

∙ 6y agoAt the equator, Earth's rotation is equivalent to a speed of 40,000 kilometers every 24 hours - if you do the division, you'll get the number of kilometers per hour.

The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
When is the earth orbital velocity the fastest?
perihelion
How does earth's velocity change as it goes around the sun?
Earth's velocity around the Sun changes slightly throughout a given year. This is because Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse that deviates slightly from a true circle. When Earth is closest to the Sun, in early January (Jan. 04), its velocity is a bit higher that its average yearly orbital velocity. This point in Earth's orbit is called perihelion. Six months later, on or about July fourth, Earth is at aphelion, its farthest distance from the Sun for a given year. During this time, Earth's velocity is slower than the yearly average. Earth's average orbital speed is 107,200 km per hour, or 66,610 miles per hour. When Earth is closer to the Sun, it moves faster; and when farther from the Sun, a little bit slower than the average.
Can a rocket traveling at orbital velocity reach the moon?
Yes, but it has to be travelling at the MOON'S orbital velocity, which is quite a bit more than that needed for low earth or even geosynchronous orbit. The faster one goes, the higher the orbit.
Explain What is the Orbital Energy and what is the Escape Velocity?
Orbital energy is that amount of energy to keep a spacecraft or satellite in orbit around the earth. If the object fails to maintain this amount of energy, its orbit will get smaller and smaller until the object falls to earth. Escape velocity is that amount of speed required for an object to escape the earth's gravitational hold. Notice how you can't jump into outer space. It's because your legs can't produce enough power to achieve escape velocity.
Is the average orbital velocity of the Earth 66000 miles per hour?
Close enough (70,000 mph).
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
Which planet has the lowest orbital velocity?
Pluto is the planet that has the lowest orbital velocity relative to that of the earth. The orbital velocity of Pluto is 0.159.
When is earth's orbital velocity the fastest?
perihelion
When is the earth orbital velocity the fastest?

Do mercury and earth travel at the same speed?
Nope. Mercury has an orbital velocity of 47.9km/s, whereas Earth has an orbital velocity of 29.8km/s.

Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because?
On that date Earth is farthest away from the Sun.
Is it possible to run off the earth?
In theory, yes. You merely need to run at a little faster than orbital velocity at Earth's surface, and boom, there you are. This may prove a problem in practice, since orbital velocity at Earth's surface is about 5 miles per second.
What is the difference between orbital velocity and angular velocity?
Orbital Velocity is calculated in m/s where as angular velocity is calculated in rad/s.. Answer is very clear.. angular velocity is calculated when body is rotating around a axis and a reference point is needed to calculate it.. where as orbital velocity is calculated when body is moving around a bado in circular path, nt around itself... e.g. Earth rotates around so it have angular velocity .. it also rotates around sun in orbit so it has Orbital velocity also :)
What speed does the earth go to orbit the Sun?
The earth's mean orbital velocity is 18.5 miles (29.8 km) per second.

Are u also doing the orbital velocity numbers?
