While they make great chairs for the elderly, a Geri-Chair is ideal for use in clinical situations where comfort seating is important. This may include areas where dialysis or chemo are being provided, in same-day surgery and OB/GYN clinics or in environments providing post-op, cardiac or outpatient care.
The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!
How fast is Earth moving through space? To begin with, Earth is rotating on its axis at the familiar rate of one revolution per day. For those of us living at Earth's midlatitudes -- including the United States, Europe, and Japan -- the rate is almost a thousand miles an hour. The rate is higher at the equator and lower at the poles. In addition to this daily rotation, Earth orbits the Sun at an average speed of 67,000 mph, or 18.5 miles a second.
