earth revolves around the sun. at the same moment exactly 1 year later how far is the orbit off in distance?

Answer 1

At the same moment exactly 1 year later the Earth will be (relative to the sun), in exactly the same place. However, Earth and the rest of our solar system are also located in an outer arm(called the Orion arm) of our Milky Way galaxy which is rotating, so Earth is also travelling 155.25 miles per second around our galaxy. In addition, our galaxy is a part of a large group of galaxies and so Earth is moving 114.885 miles per second relative to these galaxies. And finally Earth, along with the solar system, our own galaxy and the local group of galaxies is moving through the Universe at a speed of 370 miles per second.

Answer 2

You also have to define a "year." Do you mean a calendar year? (365 days) If so, a leap year (366 days) or not?

A tropical year (365.24 days) ? (The earth in the same place relative to the equinoxes).

Anomolistic year (position of the earth relative to its perhelion and apehelion, ~365.26 days)

A sidereal year? (The sun in the same point in the sky relative to the background stars ~365.255 days). There are dozens of others.


Then you have to provide relative to what, though in my mind it makes sense to compare the distance between the earth's position "one year later" to the "one year later" position along its orbit around the sun for one of the other kinds of years.

Answer 3

The Earth gets a little farther away from the Sun every 35000 years.

Answer 4

relative to what? everything is moving. in relation to the sun it's in exactly the same place every 365.25 days. in relation to the andromeda galaxy its millions of kilometres away from where it was the previous year.
