How many miles does the earth travel around the sun in an hour?

Answer 1

It can be a hard question to answer, if only because it depends on what altitude and latitude you're at. If we assume that you're at sea level on the equator, then you are about 3,960 miles away from the axis of rotation the earth. The Earth rotates at a pretty constant 15 degrees/hour (actually the way that the time zones were created: each is roughly 15 degrees wide). (15 degrees/hour)/(360 degrees/circle) * 2*pi*(3960) miles/circle = 1036 mph Another way to calculate it is to use the number of hours in a day and the circumferance of the earth. This way (and the one above) assumes that you're at the equator. 2*pi*(3960 miles) / (24 hours) =1036 mph

Want to earn money while you sleep http://website.ws/kvmlm2/my.dhtml?sp...nguage=english It's not as easy as it sounds you have to work at it for a while but when you get enough ppl to join its easy money, when some one joins you get $1 and then if they get some one to join or hopefully more than one you get another $1 per person and so on.

Answer 3

The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. The Earth is moving fastest when closest to the Sun, and slowest when it is farthest away. (The difference isn't very large.)

On average, however, the Earth is traveling about 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit.

Answer 4

The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, so the speed varies a little; faster when the Earth is closer to the Sun (in January) and a little slower when the Earth is farther away ( in July). But the difference is fairly small.

On average, the speed of the Earth in its orbit is a little over 66,000 miles per hour orbiting around the sun.

The Earths rotation on the other hand is a lot slower. It spins round at 900 mph, but it does not seem like it because it is a big planet.

Answer 5

That depends on where you're standing.

The earth spins at approximately 1 revolution per 24 hours.

If you're standing on the equator, then you're moving around that circle at about 1,040 mph.

If you're at 45° latitude ... like Minneapolis, Bangor, Venice, Belgrade, or Central Chile ...

then you're moving at about 735 mph.

If you're standing on the north or south pole, you're spinning over a spot between your feet

that's not moving at all.

Answer 6

The earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.

Answer 7

Since the earth's orbit is an ellipse rather than a circle, the speed in miles per hour varies throughout the year. The average is just under 6000 mph.

Answer 8

About 1000 miles per hour at the equator, 0 at the poles

Answer 9

The earth orbits the sun at about 18.5 miles per second.

Answer 10

The earth's mean orbital velocity is 18.5 miles per second (66,600 miles per hour).
