How fast are we moving when we are standing still?

I tried to figure this out and it's incredibly complex, as it turns out.\n\nThe earth rotates at a little over 1037 miles an hour, so you've got that.\n\nThe earth revolves around the sun at about 66486 miles an hour, so you add that.\n\nThen you consider that the sun is moving toward other stars at 45,000 miles per hour.  (and taking us along with it.)  So if you were outside our solar system, you'd see that too, I guess.\n\nThen you add that the sun moves up and down (if you consider the disk of the solar system to be the horizon) at about 261 mph.\n\nThen you add in the sun revolving around the galaxy, which is a difficult thing to calculate, but it can be figured that the sun revolves around at about a blistering 447,386.4 miles per hour.\n\nAdd that all up and you see that, relative to a person standing OUTSIDE the galaxy, we're moving at ABOUT....\n\n\n493,684 miles per hour!  That's awfully fast!\n\nNow, I have no idea how to calculate this, but the whole galaxy is moving as the universe expands...\n\nBut, hope that gives you somewhat of an answer.

The speed at which the earth spins varies upon your latitudinal location on the planet. If you're standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

standing still in the universe doesn't make much sense. You have to say "standing still compared to what" compared to the mooon? Or to the Sun? or to our galaxy? or to the apparennt center of the universe where the big bang started.\n\n"standing still" means, measuring a velocity, and velocity is always a measure of the speed of 1 object compared to another object.

roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.\n;o)

About 6 feet, which isn't an issue, unless you live at,near or below sea level. If you do, you should move anyway.

Do you mean one hour relative to someone standing still?  You would return 214,000 km away from the Earth.  This is assuming you travelled exactly one hour back.  The Earth would have moved in the 2 hours you were away.  Since the earth revolves around the sun at 107,000 km/hr, you would be 214,000 km away.

Just over 1000 miles per hour at the equator.\n\nYou don't feel it because it's constant.  When you're in a car, or an airplane, and you're running steady, you don't feel the speed.  Relative to your position, it doesn't change.  \n\nNow, if someone put the brakes on the rotation, things would go flying (but be held in place by gravity).\n\n\nEDIT:  Amy,  your answer is too spooky to mine!

It is 9.8 m/sec , some they have made it 10 :)

We are in earth.As earth rotates we too rotate. The starting point and the destination point both rotate as they are after all points on earth. Therfore weather  we fly opposite or in the same direction of rotation of earth it makes no difference. \n To understand it better, think you are in a fast moving train.If we walk with constant speed from engine to the last compartment in 20 minutes the same time will take to return to the engine from the last compartmemt.\nFor an outsider who is in the platform  the thing will appear  differently. When you move opposite to the direction of train he will say that you are little slow than the train"s speed and When you move in the same direction of train he will say that you are little faster than the train.\nEven then he will calculate the time of your travel within the train as the same for to and fro motion.\n If the train moves with a speed nearer to the velocity of light then to understand the motion we must study Einstein's relativity theory.

falling at the standard rate of 32 feet per second per second until the average human reaches a velocity of approximately 135 mph at which time air resistance begins holding the falling body from falling faster. \n   32 feet 1st sec; 64 feet 2nd sec.; 128 feet 3rd sec; etc until the body reaches 135 mph.

Neglecting all factors, including air resistance, you would fall faster and faster until you passed the center going really fast, and "fall" up to the surface on the other side of the Earth, slower and slower, until you stopped at the surface on the other side. To someone standing there it would seem as if you had been been thrown up from deep in the hole just hard enough to reach the surface. The time it would take to go through the Earth this way would be the same as the time it would take to complete half an orbit around the world, or about 45 minutes.

How fast is he walking?

24,901.5 miles. Spinning one revolution in 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds. Sit on a hillside in Equador with some great local product and your flying at like over 1000 mph. Dizzy yet?

Typically they fall at about 7 miles per hour in still air, but this depends on the size of the drop, air movement, and other factors. The biggest drops (up to a quarter inch) can fall as fast as 18 miles per hour; faster than that, and they break up into smaller drops.

Earth's speed changes from time to time.  The average is 29.783 kilometers/second or 107,218 kilometers/hour.

Depends on your momentum when you do so.\n\nIf you're utterly still and blow out air in space, you will move backwards.\n\nWell, your frozen corpse will...

Is the person next to you moving at the same speed as you?  If so you'll hear him fine.  If he's not moving at all then you'll never hear him, as the sound can't catch up to you.\n\nImagine another scenario to understand what I mean.  You're on an airplane which is stationary (say it's parked at the loading gate) and you're running down the corridor of the plane.  You can reach a maximum speed of 30 km/h.  Now, if the plane is moving at 300 km/h and you're running up the corridor, you're moving effectively at 330 km/h.  It's the same with the sound coming from your mouth.  If you're moving at a speed of X, when the sound comes out of your mouth, it's moving at a speed of X + roughly 350 m/s (the speed of sound).
