Simple distance-speed-time problem. We know that s = d/t, or speed is distance over time.
We know that the earth has an orbit around the sun of around 93,000,000 (93 million) miles. Call this r, the radius of the earth's orbit.
This means that the distance the earth travels once around the sun is (using the circumference of a circle formula C = 2*Pi*r) is
d = 2*Pi*r = 2*Pi*93,000,000 = 584,336,200 miles (to the nearest hundred.)
The time it takes to orbit the earth is one year, which is 365.25 days long. This works out to 8,766 hours. So if we are working in miles per hour, we get:
s = 584,336,000/8,766 = 66,700 miles per hour, with a bit of rounding. In kilometres per hour this would work out as around 106,700 kph.
What else can I help you with?
Can you escape earth's gravity by leaving earth's atmosphere?
Yes, yes you can. But the only thing is, you have to be travelling at a rate of 17,500 miles per hour to get out of the earth's gravitational pull. This speed cannot be reached without rocket or jet assisted take-off. Or light speed but we can't control that yet. :}
What is the term used to described the rate of an object's movement?
"speed" or "the speed"
What is the speed at which a reaction occurs called?
The chemical term is reaction rate.
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
The rate at which an object moves is called?
Velocity
Does the earth's rate of speed change over time?
No, the Earth's rate of speed in its orbit around the sun remains relatively constant. However, the Earth's distance from the sun varies slightly throughout the year, affecting its orbital speed slightly.
At what rate of speed does the moon travel around the earth?
The Moon revolves around the Earth once in about 27.32 days. At its orbital distanceof about 238,000 miles, that works out to an average of about 2,281 miles per hourrelative to the center of the Earth.
What is the approximate rate of Earth's revolution around the Sun?
Earth revolves around the Sun at an average speed of about 67,000 miles per hour or 107,000 kilometers per hour. This speed varies slightly as Earth moves in an elliptical orbit. It takes about 365.25 days for Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun.
Why do the satellites not fall while revolving around the earth?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
What is the fastest ever man made thing?
Satellites rotate around the earth at a high rate of speed. The fastest object we have created would be the particle accelerator.
Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
What moves at a rate of speed around the nucleus of an atom?
electron
Does high speed of spaceship effects the pulse rate of pilot and people on earth?
no it dosent
Does the sun appear to move at a steady rate or does it appear to speed up slow down or move irregularly?
The sun appears to move at a steady rate due to the Earth's rotation. However, this motion can appear to speed up or slow down throughout the day as the Earth orbits around the sun. Factors such as the Earth's axial tilt and the changing seasons can also create variations in the sun's apparent movement.
Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the?
It spins at the same rate wherever you are Maybe equator
What does a rate tell you about the speed?
Rate is another word for speed. It is the speed.
How fast of speed does a astriod go?
I assume you mean "asteroid". The speed of an asteroid is comparable to that of a planet. For example, an asteroid with an orbit similar to Earth's orbit would have a speed similar to Earth, which moves around the Sun at a rate of 30 km/second. An asteroid that is much further out will be slower; one that gets closer to the Sun will move faster, at least during part of its orbit.You can calculate the speed of an asteroid from Earth's speed, and the relative distances to the Sun, using Kepler's Third Law.
