The devaluation of these kinds of connections means that many people are also deeply confused by them, especially when they encounter queerplatonic partners in person. And I do say partner, and sometimes refer to the unit formed by a partner and myself as a couple, because we are. We function like a couple, we do things together, we are intimate with each other, though not necessarily in the way people expect. We are a couple.
| 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.
Retired US Navy officer, astronomy buff, history nut. The earth moves at about 67,000 miles per hour around the sun and rotates over 1000 miles per hour. ____________. The Earth's orbit isn't quite circular; it's a little bit elliptical, so the speed of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun is not constant.
