Earth's diameter = 8000 miles X (3.14) = 25,120 mi. / 24 hr. = 1043 mph (spin)

Diameter of earths orbit = 186,000,000 mi. X (3.14) = 584,000,000 mi. /

8760 hr. = 66,666 mph (orbit)

{365 days / year X 24 hours / day = 8760 hours / year}

TOTAL SPEED = 1043 mph X 66666 mph = 6,953,638 (Figure 7M mph) plus times the rate of expansion of the universe {71 +/- 4 (km/s)/Mpc}

Lucky we are holding on!

What is determined by the speed of earths rotation on its axis?

The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.


Does the earths rotation cause the sun to remain in orbit?

No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.


How does UK get four different seasons?

The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.


What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?

A geostationary orbit is when a satellite orbits at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, allowing it to remain fixed above a specific point on the Earth's equator. This type of orbit is often used for communication satellites because they can maintain a constant connection with a specific location on Earth.
