What speed is the earth traveling at as it orbits the sun?
371595
approx 19 miles/second.\n\nAny force from centripetal acceleration you might feel would be more than compensated by the gravitational attractions from the Sun and Earth themselves.\n\nIt might be a measureable amount, but just barely.

Earth orbits in a counterclock wise direction around the sun.\nIt takes approximately 365.25 days do orbit around the sun.\nThe gravitational forces between the sun and earth and the resulting centripetal and centrufugal forces makes the earth go around.

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.

around 1/6th that of earth so around 1.64m/s

Saturn travels at an average speed of 21,637 miles per hour or 34,821 kilometers per hour in its orbit around the sun therefore orbiting around the sun once every 29.4 Earth years, or once every 10,755.7 Earth days.

About  93 million miles depending on where we are in the orbit as the orbit is not circular. The sun is made of gas, and actually more of a plasma. The earth has a solid iron, nickel core with a molten iron nickel outer core and then then mantel then the crust with rock on it.

Minimum speed for what?\nIf you want to leave earth orbit then you need to be over the earth escape velocity.

You can easily compute the Earth's angular speed by considering that the Earth makes little less than one complete round on itself in a day.\n\nThat "little less" accounts for the fact that, taking the Sun as reference, since in a year the Earth also makes a revolution around the Sun, that revolution adds up 1 day that shall not be counted.\n\nTherefore, the Eart's angular speed is 1-1/365 rounds/day.\nWhich is, in International Units: 1.154 x 10^(-5) rad/s.

The Earth spins from west to east at about 900 mph. Looking from above the Earth's North Pole, the Earth rotates counter-clockwise around the Sun.

The Earth has no absolute velocity.  Velocity is a relative measurment.\nFor example:\nThe Earth is traveling about 33,400mph (not exact) around the Sun.\nThe Sun is also traveling around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at roughly 672,800mph.\nIf you tried to measure the speed of the Earth from the center of the Milky Way the Earth would appear to speed up and slow down as it revolves around the Sun.\nGuess what else????\nThe Milky Way Galaxy itself is traveling quite rapidly through space.  But I won't go there.\n\nSo, hopefully you can see that there really is no way to state the Earth's absolute velocity.\n\nHave fun exploring Astronomy and the Universe.

Hrmm the problem is "path relative to what frame of reference"?  See, the earth is moving along in a straight line through the curved or warped space of the Sun's gravity well.  But, I guess you're looking for the answer:  straight line.

It's more far-out than that...\n\nNot only is the earth rotating on its axis, it's moving in its orbit around the sun.  The sun (and us along with it) is orbiting the center of the milky way galaxy.  The milky way galaxy is moving through space in a gravitational dance with the local group of galaxies...and while all of this is going on, space is expanding.\nFrom the point of view of an observer at rest, your total velocity when all those factors are combined would be something around 160,000 km/hour.  Yippee! :)

the average orbital velocity of earth is 29.783 km/s.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

The sun is 93 million miles from Earth on the average, since the Earth does have a slightly elliptical orbit. How long it takes to get there is kind of an incomplete question because it all depends what you want to do when you get there.\n\nIt wouldn't take long for a spacecraft to fly straight to the sun and either fall into it or zoom by and then off into space, but if you wan to launch a probe to study the sun you have to be more clever.  \n\nThe link below is information on the Ulysses probe sent out in 1990. Ulysses actually did something of a "bank shot" off of Jupiter in order to get into an orbit where it goes around the sun over its poles rather than around the middle, which is rather cool that it worked so well.  Imagine playing billiards on a table three miles long and two wide and sinking the eight in a corner pocket after banking off of two cushions -- and then multiply that by a million, and you have a good idea how difficult this stuff is.

Technically the earth is falling, but it's speed traveling in orbit around the sun is keeping it in the same plane. For example the rate of fall is exactly the same as the rate the earth is traveling.
