About 18.5 miles per second.
Go figure: distance to sun = 93 million miles
so orbit length is 186 x pi million miles = 584,336,000 miles
and it takes us a year to go that far
Well, not really. If Earth's orbit were a circle, that would be correct, but it's not. Since it's an ellipse, the distance of the Earth to the Sun changes, as well as it's speed around the Sun. Some months it's moving faster than others. But that is an average speed.
_____________________________________________________________________
The above answer did not take into consideration the orbit pivotal point of the earth is at the center of the sun, so to get a more accurate speed, you would have to add the radius of the sun (432,450 miles) to the average distance to the sun due to the elliptical orbit (92,955,887.6miles).
So let's reconfigure:
Average Distance to the center of the sun = 93,379,337.6 miles
Distance earth travels in a year around the sun = 586,795,757,48 miles
Distance earth travels in a day around the sun = 1,606,559.23 miles
Distance earth travels in a an hour around the sun = 66,939.97miles
Distance earth travels in a minute around the sun =1,115.67miles
Distance earth travels in a second around the sun = 18.59 miles
Granted that 0.09 miles doesn't seem alike a lot of distance but that is an additional 475.2 feet a second.
From the point of view of an observer at the sun's location and facing one
distant star, the Earth's average speed would be something close to 66,600 mph,
or 18.5 miles per second. It all comes down to: Once per 365.25 days.
Answer
Using the word 'spinning' adds a little confusion to the question. [Or perhaps it is including the idea of 'orbit' that lends confusion.] One could say that the earth's orbital motion around the sun is a 'spin', and one could say that the earth's movement around its axis is a 'spin'. It's not perfectly clear whether you are asking about the earth's rotational velocity around its axis, or the velocity of its revolution around the sun. Regarding its axis, the earth rotates roughly 465.1 meters per second, using earth's sidereal rotational period in the calculation. The orbital velocity of the earth is about 29,783 kilometers per second.
Answer
It takes 365 days ,6 hours ,9 minuites ,and 9.54 second to make full orbit.
The radius of the earth's orbit is 1 au (astronomical unit). The circumference is 2*pi*1 au. It takes one year to complete the orbit, so the speed is 2*pi au/year. I know you don't want the answer in au/year, so I'll convert it to miles per second or some other useful measure, about 18.5 miles per second, or 179 million furlongs per fortnight
Strangely enough, this is also about pi/1000000000000000000000 lightyears per nanosecond, but I recommend you stick with 18.5 miles/second.
The sun does not orbit itself. It does spin, however, with the equatorial region spinning slightly faster than the polar regions. The sun rotates about once every 24 days.
29.8 kilometers per second or 18.5 miles per second
The earth revolves the sun in approximately 365 days, hence, why 365 days is equal to a year. The earth makes one rotation in approximately 24 hours, hence, why 24 hours is one day.
Its speed will vary greatly as its orbit is highly eccentric. It will be slower when further out from the sun on its 11,000 year orbit. Its average speed is around 1.04 km/s.
Greatest when it's closest to the sun, just like every other body that orbits the sun.
The path of a comet around the sun would depend on its mass, speed, and trajectory. It a comet enters the sun's gravitational field at the correct trajectory and speed, it would fall into a roughly circular orbit.
It takes 87.97 earth days to orbit around the sun.
A comets orbit is elliptical and goes into the depth of the solar system and speed up when it goes around the sun
It takes 87.97 earth days to orbit around the sun.
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
Mars travels around the sun at a little over 54,000 mph and completes an orbit in roughly 687 Earth days
Distance from the Sun. (The closer it is, the faster it moves.)
all the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space , that speed dosen't slow down.
Its speed will vary greatly as its orbit is highly eccentric. It will be slower when further out from the sun on its 11,000 year orbit. Its average speed is around 1.04 km/s.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
Greatest when it's closest to the sun, just like every other body that orbits the sun.
The sun is in an enormous orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated that it takes between 225 and 250 million years for the sun to make one orbit, called a galactic year. We are traveling around the center of the galaxy at a rate of about 220 km/second, which is .073% of the speed of light.
We orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull.
The speed of Earth is related to the position of its orbit around the Sun. At a higher speed, Earth would need to be closer to the Sun; at a lower speed, it would need to be farther from the Sun. In its current orbit, Earth moves around the Sun at a speed of about 30 km/second. Earth can't get much closer to the Sun (and therefore move faster) than that; for instance, Venus moves around the Sun at a mean speed of about 35 km/second, and it seems that Venus is too close to the Sun for life.
The moon does orbit the Sun. Locked in orbit around the Earth, as the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon orbits the Sun.
