Question

planet earth rotatess on its axis every 24 hours if we sat still on one spot along the equator how many miles wouild we move in one day

Answer 1

The earth has a circumference of about 25,000 miles so one would move 25,000 miles due to the rotation of the earth.

The earth also moves in its motion about the sun, and the sun moves about the center of the galaxy.

Considering that earth is about 92,000.000 miles from the sun then distance moved in one day about the sun is

S(about sun) 92000000 * 2 * π / 365 = 1.58E6 miles per day due to motion of earth about sun (about 1.6 million miles / day)
