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.
If it were moving at the same spe â¦ ed as Earth in its orbit, it would take 5 times as long to orbit the Sun. But planets farther from the Sun actually orbit more slowly with increasing orbital distance, so Jupiter actually takes nearly 12 Earth years to make one orbit (Jupiter year).  (Earth's orbital speed is about 30 km/sec. For Jupiter it is about 13 km/sec.).
