  2. Earth's orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_orbit

    [nb 1] Earth's orbital speed averages 29.78 km/s (19 mi/s; 107,208 km/h; 66,616 mph), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter in 7 minutes and the distance to the Moon in 4 hours. [3] The point towards which the Earth in its solar orbit is directed at any given instant is known as the "apex of the Earth's way". [4] [5]

    Halley's Comet on an eccentric orbit that reaches beyond Neptune will be moving 54.6 km/s when 0.586 AU (87,700 thousand km) from the Sun, 41.5 km/s when 1 AU from the Sun (passing Earth's orbit), and roughly 1 km/s at aphelion 35 AU (5.2 billion km) from the Sun. [7] Objects passing Earth's orbit going faster than 42.1 km/s have achieved ...

  4. Earth's rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation

    Earth's rotation axis moves with respect to the fixed stars (inertial space); the components of this motion are precession and nutation. It also moves with respect to Earth's crust; this is called polar motion. Precession is a rotation of Earth's rotation axis, caused primarily by external torques from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other bodies.

    Earth rotates on its axis at about 1,000 miles per hour. That’s the short answer, but it’s not the whole story.

    The earth moves 1667.9239 kilometers per hour around its axis. [7] Because of this, you weigh less on the equator than the poles [6] due to the Coriolis effect. [1] Another thing caused by the Coriolis effect on earth is the deformation of the earth. Because of this, you are farther from the center of the earth on the equator than the poles. [6]

    With the Earth moving on a rotational pole, the distribution of water on the planet impacts distribution of mass. “Like adding a tiny bit of weight to a spinning top,” authors say, “the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_core_super-rotation

    Cutaway of the Earth showing the inner core (white) and outer core (yellow). Inner core super-rotation is the eastward rotation of the inner core of Earth relative to its mantle, for a net rotation rate that is usually [clarification needed] faster than Earth as a whole.

    J1249+36 jumped out to citizen scientists combing through the data a few years ago because the star was moving at about 0.1% the speed of light, according to the study authors.
