Giordano Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 How fast are you currently going right now? We all are going at a same speed (if we are sittting/standing and reading this). There is only 1 answer (if you're sitting/standing and reading this [no cars, planes, or trains]) "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

issy2 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 The Earth rotates once in a few minutes under a day (23 hours 56 minutes 04. 09053 seconds). This is called the sidereal period (which means the period relative to stars). The sidereal period is not exactly equal to a day because by the time the Earth has rotated once, it has also moved a little in its orbit around the Sun, so it has to keep rotating for about another 4 minutes before the Sun seems to be back in the same place in the sky that it was in exactly a day before. An object on the Earth's equator will travel once around the Earth's circumference (40,075.036 kilometers) each sidereal day. So if you divide that distance by the time taken, you will get the speed. An object at one of the poles has hardly any speed due to the Earth's rotation. (A spot on a rod one centimeter in circumference for example, stuck vertically in the ice exactly at a pole would have a speed of one centimeter per day!). The speed due to rotation at any other point on the Earth can be calculated by multiplying the speed at the equator by the cosine of the latitude of the point. (If you are not familiar with cosines, I wouldn't worry about that now, but if you can find a pocket calculator which has a cosine button you might like to try taking the cosine of your own latitude and multiplying that by the rotation speed at the equator to get your own current speed due to rotation!). Anyway...to answer your question, the average movement of any object on Earth is at 107226.435986159169 kilometres per day. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragen Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Depends what your comparing my speed too. It is all relevant. For instance my speed moving from this chair is 0mph. My speed moving around the sun is very fast. My speed on the earth rotating could be compared to my speed round the edge of the earth. If you want to talk galaxys moving ect, I am going very very fast. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
