The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,890 km. Therefore in one year the Earth travels a distance of 2*Pi*(149,597,890)km. This means that the velocity is about:
velocity=2*Pi*(149,597,890)km/1 year
and if we convert that to more meaningful units (knowing there is 365 days in a year, and 24 hours per day) we get:
velocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour)
So the Earth moves at about 100,000 km/h around the Sun (which is 1000 times faster than the speeds we go at on a highway!)

That has been figured out a hundred years ago. Where have you been that some of that information never got to you ?

no that is not true, the earth is in fact in the center of the universe and everything is going around us. dont mind what those scientists are saying.

Yep. About 66,000 miles an hour, actually.

Yes it is .....you're moving at the same speed so you'll never notice it
