| Cool Cosmos. Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) per hour and orbits around the Sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant.
Movement of the Earth through Space. The 24-hour-per-day spin of the Earth accounts for the Coriolis force.. The Earth is 40,000 kilometers (24,900 miles) around at its widest part, the equator.Because it spins on its axis once in 24 hours, a point on the Earth's equator is traveling about 1,700 km per hour (1,000 miles per hour) relative to its axis.ovement of the Earth through Space.
