What is the earths rate of revolution?

Answer 1

Approximately one revolution per day. The speed of revolution of the earth varies with the latitude. At the equator the speed is approximately 1000 miles per hour or around 24,000 miles per day. If you were exactly at either pole, theoretically every thing would be turning around you. Then you would be going no where at no speed.

Step off the pole and walk to 840 feet away from that point and you will be going approximately l mile per day or 4 hundredths ( .041666) miles per hour. I arrive at that figure by the formula below which is only approximate because the earth is an imperfect sphere, not a circle, and distance away from the pole is not truly straight out. There is a more accurate formula for figuring revolution speed by latitude, but I used this for simple understanding of the existence of the different speeds of revolution according to latitude. I am just estimating. The earth is so large that a distance from the pole that would have a 1 mile per day speed of revolution has very little error with the below formula.

circumference = pi times diameter so l mile = 22/7 (2) radius or 1 mile times 7/22 times 1/2 = radius 5280 ft times 7/22 time 1/2 = 840 ft

Answer 2

Earth's revolution around the sun requires precisely one entire year.

Earth's rotation upon its axis takes exactly one full day.

These are the definitions of year and day.

Answer 3

At the equator, about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph)

Answer 4

The earth makes approximately 366.25 revolutions a year:

365.25 around its own axis.

1 additional revolution because the rotation of the earth around the sun.

Answer 5

To complete one revolution around the sun at what speed earth should move or what is the total distance covered by earth in one year

Answer 6

At the equator roughly 1000 mph.
