1. Luca made the following chart for Earth's four basic movements, what needs to be correct on his chart?

Rotation Speed Revolution Speed Solar System Speed Milky Way Speed
0.3 miles/sec
18.5 miles/sec
370 miles/sec
150 miles/sec

The rotation speed and revolution speed should be switched

The revolution speed and solar system speed should be switched

The rotation speed and Milky Way speed should be switched.

Answer:

The solar system speed and Milky Way speed should be switched.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the Earth is with respect to how it moves around it's own axis (rotation speed), the Sun (revolution speed), solar system (solar system speed), and the milky way galaxies (milky way speed) etc.

According to this question, Luca made a chart for this Earth's four basic movements. The chart with their respective speed are as follows:

Rotation Speed - 0.3 miles/sec

Revolution Speed - 18.5 miles/sec

Solar System Speed - 370 miles/sec

Milky Way Speed - 150 miles/sec

Luca, however, made a mistake in his chart.

- The rotation speed of the Earth around its axis is correctly 0.3miles/sec

- The revolution speed of the Earth around the sun is correctly 18.5 miles/sec

- The solar system speed of the Earth i.e. around the solar system is about 150miles/hour

- The milky way speed of the Earth i.e. around local group of galaxies is about 370miles/hour.

Based on the comparison of Luca's chart and correct speed illustration, THE SOLAR SYSTEM SPEED AND MILKY WAY SPEED SHOULD BE SWITCHED.
