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.
When something is moving faster, it hits those more often, making it slow down even faster. Heavier objects are affected less by air resistance, which is why they fall faster on earth. All terminal velocity is is the fastest speed an object can go before the air slows it down by just as much as gravity speeds it.
