It varies between 30.287 km/s and 29.291 km/s with 29.783 km/s being the average
The reason for the varying speeds is that Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular. At some times, it closer to the sun, causing the orbital velocity to become faster. As it moves further away from the sun, the velocity gradually decreases to the minimum before beginning acceleration again.

The earth rotates or orbits around the sun very slowly but does eventually get back to where it began in its position around the sun albeit in millions or even billions of years. Therefore, every second of the day is a completely different second and will never be the same for at least millions of years. Human beings must adapt to a constantly changing environment. We stay alive that way as we improve our life circumstances by exercising our minds and bodies every second of the day. Our blood and nutrients circulate that way. Our waste by-products eliminate that way. It's not all that easy to be a human being. But it's a lot of fun, too. It's kind of like being an athlete all the time, no matter what we're doing. No matter whether we're sitting in a cubicle or running in a marathon. The earth is not travelling all that fast around the sun in comparison to how fast human beings have to adapt to their changing environment. Adapting can be fun, though, if we find the right people to adapt to.

The sunlight (Sol) and the Earth are part of the photo voltaic equipment. The photo voltaic equipment is part of the Milky way Galaxy. The photo voltaic equipment orbits the centre of the galaxy so therefore Sol does one orbit or spin around the Earth each and every 250 Million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days approx.

Earth is moving around the Sun at about 67000 miles per hour

THE ANSWER IS about 67000 miles per hour,plus or minus about 2% for error... it is hard to comprehend. Also take into consideration that the earth is rotating on its own axis at about 600 miles per hour... and you don't feel a thing...

1.2 degrees per day.
There is 360 degrees and 365 days.
1 degree a day then split the five in fiths to make 0.2.
1 degree+0.2=1.2.

1 rotation = 365 days
1 rotation = 8,760 hours
1 rotation = 525,600 minutes
1 rotation = 31,536,000 seconds....
lol this didn't answer your question at all.. i'm going to look in my astronomy textbook now..
