Earth what we live in, it turns out keep moving no stopping. Speed Earth spin on axis, like a basketball at a player’s fingertips.
The question is, what speed does the Earth rotate at? the axis and how fast it is orbit the sun? Or how fast is the solar system orbiting the Milky Way galaxy?
Some answers from astronomers like Cornell from University Ithaca, New York say, Speed The earth rotates On its axis, 24 hours equals 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Planet Earth itself own size 24,898 miles or an area of 40,070 kilometers. When dividing the distance by the time it turns out that the speed of the earth is rotating at 1,037 mph or 1,670 km / h.
While the speed The Earth Rotates orbiting on Sun has a speed of 67,000 mph or 110,000 km / h.
Earth around the sun complete one orbit or equal to 365 days. Usually called a year.
To calculate distance Earth around the sunThe trick is to determine the circumference of the circle.
Earth, on average, is about 93 million miles or 149.6 million km from Sun.

After the distance covered Earth to go around the sun is determined then the calculation of its orbital speed can be known.
