What is Earth's average speed as it orbits the sun?

Answer 1

Hurtling through space at an average speed of 18.4 miles per second, Earth is constantly changing its position with the sun. Not only is the Earth orbiting around the sun , but it also rotating on its axis at 1,070 miles per hour (speed at the equator). It is, however, a common misconception that the Earth's distance from the sun determines how warm or cold the planet gets.

Answer 2

Gee, Chuck... you have just asked several questions in a row that all sound a lot like homework problems. Are we doing your work for you?

Don't ask too many. Try to do most of it on your own and then ask about one or two problem spots otherwise no one on here will help you anymore.

But...
"It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power...."
I could go on.

Answer 3

The average orbital speed of the Earth is 29.783 km/s, which is 66623 mph.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

we are 93,000,000 miles away, times 2 times 3.14, the circumference is:
584,040,000 miles divided by 365 days to orbit:
1,600,109.6 divided by 24 hours:

66,671.2333 mph approximately

Answer 6

And, apropos for Yahoo Answers:

'And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
''Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!'

Answer 7

Thanks iMi, now that song is in my head.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

peace

p.s. iMi is right... so is Eric Idle

Answer 8

19 miles per second

Answer 9

avg. radius = (152 + 147 million km)/2
= 149.5 million km

C = 2πr = 2[pi](149,500,000 km)
= 939,336,203.4 km

v = C/T = 939336203.4 km/365.25 day
= 2571762.364 km/day
= 29.77 km/s

Answer 10

66,660 miles per hour.
