ASTRONOMY
One of my favorite hobbies is astronomy. Planet Earth travels through space at different speeds, but we don’t realise it.
The Earth rotates on itself at a speed of 1667 kms/hr at the Equator, but in Spain we rotate at 1275kms/hr and in Copenhagen they rotate at 975kms/hr. For everyone a day lasts 24 horas.
If you travel by plane from Madrid to Copenaghen today, it would take 2.5 hours and your rotation speed would decrease 300kms/hr, but you wouldn’t feel it.
The Earth rotates around the Sun at a speed of 107.000 km/hr.
The Solar System is located in an arm of the Milky Way and it is rotating continuously like a carousel. Because of this, the Solar System travels through space at the speed of 828.000kms/hour rotating around the center of the Milky Way.
