The Earth is spinning with a speed of 460 m/s, about 1,070 mph.
We know the Earth is moving in nearly circular orbit around the Sun. So, We are moving along in this orbit at almost 30 kilometers per second, or just over 67,000 miles per hour. The Earth, anchored to the Sun by gravity, follows along at the same fantastic speed. Sound fast? Hang on: it gets even faster!
Our Solar System is tucked away in an arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy is rotating, and we are rotating around the galaxy's center at about 220 kilometers per second (490,000 miles per hour!)
Our Milky Way galaxy is part of a cluster of galaxies we refer to as the “local group.” Together, they are cruising through space at an astounding 1,000 kilometers per second...
