The average speed of the earth in orbit is around 30 km/sec or 108,000 km/h. The planet moves faster when it's closer to the sun and slower when it's further away, sweeping out equal areas in equal time.

How do shooting stars travel so fast if there is no gravity?
Although shooting stars are not affected by the Earth's gravity, they are still pulled by other planets and stars. All of the shooting stars visible on Earth orbit the sun, just like the earth itself.
A train travels at a speed of 30 miles per hour If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers how fast is the train traveling in kilometers per minute?
You start by converting that to kilometers per hour, which would be 48 kilometers per hour. An hour contains 60 seconds, and to convert to smaller units of time, you divide, so 48/60 is 0.8 kilometers per minute.
100 kilometers is how fast?
100 kilometers is a measure of length and distance, not speed. 100 km/h is a measure of speed, which is pretty fast.
How fast 800 Meters if you went 15 kilometers per hour?
About two minutes to cover 800 meters traveling at 15mph
What is the equation used to calculate the placement of an object into orbit?
An object in orbit is falling toward the Earth. Plus, it has some motion 'sideways'. Remember that the Earth is shaped like a ball. The sideways motion of the object is just enough so that the curve of the Earth 'falls away' just as fast as the object falls. So the object keeps falling, but never gets any closer to the Earth.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
How fast is sputnik and how long is its orbit?
The Sputnik traveled at 18,000 miles per hour (29,000 kilometers), its orbit around the Earth each time took 92.6 minutes, and its actual orbit was 3 months.
How fast does the earth orbit the sun in kilometers per second?
About 30 km/second. It varies a bit; at periapsis, Earth moves somewhat faster than at apapsis.
How fast does Saturn orbit the earth?
Saturn does not orbit the Earth; it orbits the Sun. The Moon orbits the Earth.
How fast does Saturn go to orbit the sun?
140,00o kilometers
How fast do the satellites orbit the earth?
Faster than you
How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?
As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.
