2. graded adjective. If you describe the appearance of something as fanciful, you mean that it is unusual and elaborate rather than plain and simple. The economic gloom of the early 1980s was relieved by fanciful architecture.
Earth's orbital speed averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h; 67,000 mph), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter in seven minutes and the distance to the Moon in four hours.
I will discuss both separately. The space shuttle does have a maximum speed of 17,500 mph, but that speed is relative to the Earth. If you think about the space shuttle's velocity relative to the Sun, then the answer is the sum of Earth's velocity plus that of the shuttle. This means that the shuttle is moving at 67,000 + 17,500 mph (84,500 mph). So the space shuttle actually does move faster than the Earth. However, the shuttle speed is actually irrelevant to your question, because the shuttle never truly leaves Earth's gravity.
