How many years would the plate under the Pacific ocean take to move 36 inches?

The Pacific Plate moves at an average rate of about 2.75 inches per year. Therefore, to move 36 inches, it would take approximately 13 years.


Does Mercury moves fast?

Yes, Mercury moves the fastest in its orbit around the Sun compared to any other planet in our solar system. It completes an orbit in about 88 Earth days, traveling at an average speed of about 29 miles per second.


A speed boat moves at 35 knots and an auto moves at 35 statute miles per hour convert the speed boat's velocity to statute miles per hour and the auto velocity to knots?

To convert the speed boat's velocity to statute miles per hour, we know that 1 knot is equivalent to 1.15078 miles per hour. So, 35 knots * 1.15078 ≈ 40.2 statute miles per hour. To convert the auto velocity to knots, divide the speed in statute miles per hour by 1.15078. So, 35 miles per hour / 1.15078 ≈ 30.4 knots.


Does earths distance from the sun does not change as earth moves in its orbit?

Earth's distance from the Sun does change slightly as it moves in its elliptical orbit. The average distance, known as an astronomical unit (AU), is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), but this distance varies throughout the year. At its closest point, called perihelion, Earth is about 91.4 million miles from the Sun, while at its farthest point, called aphelion, it is about 94.5 million miles away. These variations occur due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit.


How does lightning travel?

Lightning is the exchange of energy and plasma. According to scientist Bruce Steo, lightning moves at variable speeds. Lightning is in fact not light. But as the electronic plasma moves through charged air, it releases light waves. Depending on air conditions, the typical lightning bolt moves at 224,000 mph -- or about 3,700 miles per second.However, the light you see from the lightning obviously travels at the speed of light, which is roughly 670 million mph, or 186,000 miles per second.Lightening travels at 300,000 km per second which is the same speed as light.
