The speed of the earth varies with the time of the year because the earth's orbit is
not circular, but elliptical. The earth speed is fastest when it is nearest the sun. It
is slowest when it is farthest from the sun. In short, the speed of the earth is
different each moment, and is a function of the earth's distance from the foci of the
ellipse (one of which is the Sun). To calculate it, one would need to use calculus,
and would need to know the mass of the Sun, the mass of the Earth, and the
function of the ellipse. One could then plot the speed as a function of Earth's
distance from the Sun, or as a function of time, and determine the speed at a
given moment based either on the time of the year or on how far the Earth is from
the Sun at the moment.
All of that said, the earth moves about 67,000 miles per hour (with variations as
described above) in its orbit around the sun, from the point of view of an observer
on the sun.
The orbital speed of the Earth is 66,622 mph - 107,218 km/h
The orbital period of the moon [around the earth] is 27.321582 days.
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
If Earth moved slower in its orbit around the Sun, its orbit would be elongated and the duration of a year would increase. This could lead to changes in climate patterns and potentially affect the length of seasons. However, the overall impact would depend on how much slower Earth's orbital speed becomes.
The Earth's rotation on its axis creates day and night, while its orbital motion around the Sun causes the changing of seasons. These movements also influence the planet's shape and gravitational forces, affecting ocean tides and weather patterns. Additionally, Earth's rotation and orbit contribute to the planet's overall habitability and biodiversity.
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
Orbital speed of a satellite: v - orbital speed G - gravitational consatnt R - radius of earth h - height of orbit
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
Nope. Mercury has an orbital velocity of 47.9km/s, whereas Earth has an orbital velocity of 29.8km/s.
Pluto orbits the Sun at an average speed of 4.66 km/sec.
The planet with an orbital speed of around 30 kilometers per second is Earth. Its average orbital speed around the Sun is approximately 29.78 kilometers per second.
About 30 km/sec
Because Venus has less distance to travel than the Earth and is travelling faster. With an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s and an orbital period of 224.70069 days gives an orbital distance of 679,883,169.35km The Earth has an orbital speed of 29.78 km/s (Slower than Venus) and an orbital period of 365.256 days gives an orbital distance of 939,800,765.95km
The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.
100,000,000 is the answer to this question : )
The Earth's orbital speed is relatively high compared to the other planets in our solar system due to its closer proximity to the Sun. Mercury has the fastest orbital speed, followed by Venus and Earth. The gas and ice giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have much slower orbital speeds due to their larger orbits and distances from the Sun.
It is the orbital velocity (speed and direction) or orbital speed (rate of motion). It is usually stated as "average orbital speed" but is actually "mean orbital speed."
