How fast does the earth orbit the sun?
919666
The distance to the sun is 150 million km. So the circumference is 940 million km. The earth takes a year to do it, or 31.6 million seconds. Therefore the average speed is 29.8 km/sec  or 107200 km/hour or 66600 miles/hour.

Earth is revolving in orbit, held in place by the Sun's gravitational pull

about 1000 mph.\n\napprox #'s here--earth is 25,000 miles in circuvfrence, 24 hours per day.   this is at equator.\n\ni am thinking, the farther away from equator, the speed can be progressivly slower.

Mars takes 688 Earth days to orbit the Sun once.  This is a bit less than two Earth years (730 days), or not quite 6% less.  So about ten orbits, depending on when in 1987 you want to count from..

Lets see now, Earth rotates aproximately once every 24 hours, thats one over 60 x 60 X 24, thats one over 86400 rotations per second. All the time we are doing that, consider this, we are also going around the sun at aproximately 66500 miles per hour.

The Earth rotates once in 24 hours, and its (equatorial) radius is 3,963 miles (6,378 km). As with the Moon, the rotational speed starts at zero at either geographic pole and increases as you head toward the equator, where it reaches its maximum of about 1038 mi/hr (1669 km/hr). At 45 degrees north or south latitude, the rotational speed is about 0.7 of this maximum speed.

Dan's result seems extremely low and the reason is that when he converted metres to inches he divided instead of multiplying so his final answer needs to be multiplied by about 1600.\n\nI don't think the earth's rotational speed around its own axis is relevant. I am unclear which Dan has taken, this or the earth's orbital speed around the sun.\n\nIf the radius of the Earth's orbit is 93 million miles, then the circumference of the orbit (assuming a circle for simplicity) is 2 pi r or 6.28 x 93 x 10^6 miles. In a fortnight (14 days out of 365) the earth will travel 14/ 365 ths of that distance (ignoring leap years for simplicity) and with 8 furlongs to a mile, that is\n\n8 x 14/365 x 6,28 x 93 x 10^6 f per f\n\nFor an approximate result, say 93 divides into 365 4 times, and divide the 4 into the 8 to leave\n\n28 x 6,28 x 10^6 furlongs per fortnight\n\n= approx 1.75 x 10^8 furlongs/fortnight\n\nOf course the sun itself is moving at about ten miles a second in the direction of Alpha Herculis, but that too is irrelevant to the calculation as is the rotational velocity of the earth on its own axis.

About 2,270 orbit the Earth.

Depending on its position in the oval orbit it has around the sun, the earth gets sunlight 8.317 minutes after it is emitted from the sun.

On average the sun moves about 1 degree against the background stars per day (that's about 2 full moons!).  Since the Earth is on an elliptical orbit, we actually speed up and slow down, so it changes from day to day the exact amount.  \n\nIf you mean how many degrees above or along your local horizon, you need to give me your latitude and longitude to answer that.

If the Earth orbited at EXACTLY the right speed, its orbit would be a perfect circle. But the Earth isn't lucky enough to have just the right speed. When the Earth is going slower, it isn't orbiting fast enough to maintain its distance from the Sun so it starts to fall toward the Sun. As it falls, it speeds up. Some people (a lot of people actually) think this will cause Earth to spiral into the Sun. But that is not what happens. Instead, the speed of the Earth builds up too quickly and the Earth ends up a little closer to the Sun but going too fast. That causes it to want to fly away from the Sun. As it moves away from the Sun it looses speed. It ends up farther away again but now going too slow again. The process repeats endlessly and the resulting shape of the orbit is an ellipse. The mathematics of it is similar to a weight hanging from a spring. The gravity of the Sun is like the spring, holding the Earth, but not rigidly. The weight COULD hang perfectly still, but any little bump will set it bouncing until friction damps out the vibrations. And in space there is no (or at least VERY VERY little) friction.

Earth revolves around this shinning star called a sun and it takes about 365 to 366 days to make a round trip around the sun.\n\n60 minutes and not 100 minutes --> Ever looked at a globe and the time zones? \n\nweek consists of 7 days --> Again with the Earth revolving around the sun.

The moon goes around the earth faster than we go around the sun...

Hi, \n\nThe sun's orbit is 365.4 days. The actual length changes very little, but with a period of roughly 41,000 years.\n\nHope that helps, \nMatt

The Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.  When it is closest to the Sun it is a distance of 91.4 million miles.  At it's furthest it is 94.5m miles.  The distance between the Earth and the Sun is also known as 1AU (astronomical unit).

The Sun is orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy at something like 200,000 miles per hour. At the same time the Earth is orbiting the Sun at 66,000 miles per hour. At the same time the Moon is orbiting the Earth at about 2,100 miles per hour. And when the Apollo space craft were orbiting the Moon, they did so at about 3,800 miles per hour.\n\nThe reason Earth can orbit the moving Sun is that both the Earth and Sun share the motion of the Sun around the galaxy. It is kind of like playing catch in a moving car. The fact that the car is driving 65 MPH is no problem for you to throw the ball back and forth just like you would in a parked car.

It varies between 30.287 km/s and 29.291 km/s with 29.783 km/s being the average\n\nThe reason for the varying speeds is that Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular.  At some times, it closer to the sun, causing the orbital velocity to become faster.  As it moves further away from the sun, the velocity gradually decreases to the minimum before beginning acceleration again.
