Origin of the Earth
Some interesting factoids:
- Speed:
- earth revolves around axis at ~ 900mph
- earth revolves around sun at ~ 90 mps
- solar system rotates about center of galaxy at ~ 175 mps
- galaxy moves through space at ~ 150,000 mps
This means we're moving at 900 mph (.25mps) X 90 mps X 175 mps X 150,000 mps = 590,625,000 mps
