The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,890 km. Therefore in one year the Earth travels a distance of 2*Pi*(149,597,890)km. This means that the velocity is about:

velocity=2*Pi*(149,597,890)km/1 year

and if we convert that to more meaningful units (knowing there is 365 days in a year, and 24 hours per day) we get:

velocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour)

So the Earth moves at about 100,000 km/h around the Sun (which is 1000 times faster than the speeds we go at on a highway!)

How fast does the earth rotate around the sun at?

The Earth does NOT rotate around the Sun. It has an orbital track, on which it takes one year to complete. The Earth moves along that orbital track at approximately 66,000 mph (30 km/sec). The Earth ROTATES on its own axis to give us night and day. This rotation has a speed of 1,000 mph at the Equator, 500 mph at 60 degrees N/S , and you rotate on the spot at the poles. (N/S).


How fast in MPHdoes the earth travel around the sun?

Earth's speed around the Sun is approximately 30 kilometers per second. I leave it to you to convert that to nonstandard units.

How fast does the shadow of the sun move across the Earth's surface?

The answer is dependent on the Earth's rotation ... not the sun. Thus the answer varies from 1000 mph at the equator to zero at the poles.

How long does it take from sun rays to reach the earth?

Average distance from Earth to the Sun is around 93,000,000 miles. The speed of light is 186,000 mps or 670,616,629 mph. Divide this into 93 million gives 0.13868 * 60 for minutes gives 8.320 minutes.
