The âcity of loveâ dwarfs Barcelona in size, being incredibly large from one end to the other, particularly so for a European city. The amount of beautiful monuments to see in Paris is overwhelming â from the Louvre to Versailles, my artistic side was more than satisfied.
But how fast does the Earth rotate? You might be surprised to know that a spot on the surface of the Earth is moving at 1675 km/h or 465 meters/second. Thatâs 1,040 miles/hour. Just think, for every second, youâre moving almost half a kilometer through space, and you donât even feel it.
Likewise, Earth is moving at a fixed rate, and weâre all moving along with it, and thatâs why we donât feel Earthâs spin. If Earthâs spin were suddenly to speed up or slow down, you would definitely feel it. The constant spin of the Earth had our ancestors pretty confused about the true nature of the cosmos.
