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!
the orbit
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
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.
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.
False. Earth's path or orbit around the Sun is called its revolution, not rotation. Rotation refers to the spinning of Earth on its axis, which causes day and night, while revolution refers to the Earth's journey around the Sun, which takes about 365.25 days to complete.

No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
No.
it is. the orbit of the earth has been recorded by sattelites and other probes.

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.
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.
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.
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
