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.
Everything DOES move, right along with the earth's surface. That is the reason that things, including our own bodies, can appear to be motionless. The earth is â¦ very large; the equator is close to 26,000 miles long. This means that at the equator the earth is rotating at a shade over 1000 miles per hour.
