At what are called relativistic speeds (some 90% the speed of light and more), time slows down appreciably. At the speed of light, time stops. But as anything with any mass is accelerated near the speed of light, it gains mass (because the energy being put into it to move it is converted into that mass). Just so you know what 'Big Al' Einstein said.

How fast are you moving relative to the earth when you are standing still?

"Standing still" IS a measurement relative to the Earth. Relative toother things, you are moving with high speeds in complicated paths.But relative to the Earth, you are standing still.


How fast are you moving on earth just standing still?

Even when standing still, you are moving at a significant speed due to the Earth's rotation and its orbit around the Sun. The Earth rotates at roughly 1,670 kilometers per hour (about 1,040 miles per hour) at the equator. Additionally, as the Earth orbits the Sun, it travels at an average speed of about 107,000 kilometers per hour (66,600 miles per hour). So, while you may feel stationary, you are actually part of these vast motions.


Does fast moving water carry more or less sediment?

Fast moving water carries more sediment because it has more energy to erode and transport sediments from the surface of the earth. As water velocity increases, it can pick up and carry larger and heavier particles along with it.


What are fast moving rivers in the ocean called?

Fast-moving rivers in the ocean are called ocean currents. These currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, water density, temperature, and the shape of the ocean floor. They play a crucial role in shaping global climate patterns and distributing heat around the Earth.


Why dont you land in a different spot when you jump in the air since the earth is spinning so fast?

When you jump in the air, you already have the same momentum as the spot you jumped from because you and the earth are moving together. The Earth's rotation doesn't affect your jump because the atmosphere moves along with the Earth as well.

Why do you not feel the dizzying speed of the earth's rotation and its tremendously fast revolution?

because you are moving at the same speed - relatively, you are standing still. you are small, the earth is BIG.

What is the speed of an object standing still?

Speed is always the speed relative to something else.If you see something standing still, that just means that it's movingwith exactly the same speed and direction that you are. The object that'sstanding still could be the book in your lap in a seat on a passenger jetflying at 500 miles per hour, relative to the ground, to visit your grandmother.And don't forget that the airplane, you, and the book, are all spinning alongwith the Earth, while the Earth and all of those things revolve around the sun.There's no such thing as really standing still.


How can you stay on earth when moving so fast?

Gravity.


What does ultraviolet have to do with the sun and earth from moving slow?

nothing, as far as I know. The earth isn't moving slow, it's moving extremely fast.

How fast are you moving when you seem to be sitting still?

This is almost impossible to answer. You are moving around the earth's axis as the planet spins; you are also moving with the earth around the sun; you are also moving with the sun - and the entire solar system - around the center of our galaxy; you are also moving with the entire galaxy around the center of our galaxy cluster. The entire cluster is also moving. So there is movement in all kinds of directions, and the direction and speed constantly change due to several circular movements. Another factor is - how can you tell if something in space is standing still or moving? What is the reference point? There is no ground against which you can measure your movement. Everything is constantly moving, so you have to measure speed in reference to some other moving body.
