How fast is the world moving?

Question

Not spinning but hurtling threw space.

Answer 1

We know for a fact it's 66,000 MPH average around the sun (someone didn't do their math right and leftout a zero -- 93,000,000 radius *2 plus diameter of the sun (865,000) times pi or 3.1415)

It is suspected we are traveling about 400,000 MPH in space moving out from the big bang, which is slow compared to some objects so we must be formed way later and there must be some strong gravity near the big bang to account for the drop from 150,000 MPS for a Quasar to 400,000 MPH for the Milky Way and another 300,000 MPH around the Milky Way.

That's a lot of speed!

Answer 2

Although our planet is moving at relatively the same speed upon it's course through the Universe as it has for eons (something a majority isn't aware of on a daily basis), our technological & informational pace has been quickening exponentially since the 17th Century. But, because we are humans, our DNA isn't programmed for our brains or bodies to keep up. But just look at the life cycles around you, the trees, other animals, insects, the seasons, the ebb and flow of Life & Nature. Our human existence will change, if not abruptly, in time, sooner or later, inevitably. Like, fur shur, dude. All we can do is sit back, relax, and watch it happen.

Answer 3

hold on here, this isnt a short answer -
the Earth is on average 92Million miles from the sun, times pi for the circumforance and its roughly 290Million miles around. divided by 365 for the number of days, the earth travels some 790,000 miles on one day, ya thats high on the odometer. distance in one day divided by 24 hours comes to 33,000 MPH, now i did this on my computer but it does seem right,

Now part 2, hang on here, big numbers ahead, the Solar System wihich Earth belongs to is roughly 26,000 Lightyears from the galactic core, (which has a Supermassive Black hole as heavy as 6 Trillion suns). it take a quarter of a Billion years (250,000,000) for our solor system to complete one revolution around the galaxy. The circumferance could be some 80,000 Lightyears, though i am not sure how to calculate the speed of the solar system.

in short our planet is moving around the sun, our entire solar system is moving around the galaxy core. AND our enire galaxy (100 BILLION stars) is hurtling through space about a million mile an hr

Answer 4

(Spinning)
Revolutions = 1000 miles and hour at the equator (single point)
24,000 miles /24 hours = 1000 mph
(Careening)
In orbit = 66671 miles an hour
3.14 x 186000000/365/24 = 66671
(Hurtling)
Through space 720000 miles an hour
in that order
or so Im told

Answer 5

This is very complicated:

The earth evolves around its own axis
The earth evolves around the sun

Our solar system as a whole does what?
Evolve around its own axis,
and fly through space like a disc?

Our galaxy does what?
Describes the same set of motions
mentioned above? How fast?

Very slowly, relatively very slowly

Answer 6

•How fast is the Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy? 250 km/sec
•How fast is our Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies? 300 km/sec

Answer 7

You have to specify speed relative to something else. And there's no fixed point in space from which to measure Earth's speed.

Answer 8

The world isn't moving. We are the center of the universe and everything revolves around us.

Answer 9

my science book says approximately 100 mph

Answer 10

Its moving rapidly due to globalisation effect and many other economic factor.
