    Hi all,

    The radius of the earth = 6371 km
    So the circumference of the earth would be = 2*pi*6371
    = 40030 km

    For one revolution earth takes = 24 hours
    That is = 24*60*60 seconds
    = 86400 seconds

    So the distance earth travels in a second = 40030 km / 86400 seconds
    = 463.3 m

    So this meanz a position on earth travels 463.3 meters in a second..

    Imagine How Fast we travel...
