how is earth moving in space
Of course, there's more motions than Earth's daily âspinâ on its axis to consider.Besides rotating on its axis, the Earth is moving around the Sun, the whole Solar System is moving around the Galaxy and the Galaxy is moving through space! We know the Earth is moving in nearly circular orbit around the Sun.We are moving along in this orbit at almost 30 kilometers per second, or just over 67,000 miles per hour.ur planet is a slightly flattened sphere with a circumference of 40,075 km at the equator. This means that at the equator, the Earth is spinning with a speed of 460 m/s, about 1,070 mph. This speed decreases as you move to higher latitudes because the circle is smaller.
