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.
The moon orbits Earth at an avaerage speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometres per hour). The Moon travels at different speeds during different parts of its orbit. It moves slowest when it is at furthest distance from Earth. The Moon moves fastest in its orbit when it is closest to Earth.
