47.8725 kilometers per second on average. This in incorrect because it is based on a circular orbit with radius as semi major axis of 57,909,050 kilometers. The correct value is 47.362 km/sec when based on the true distance which is elliptical and is 359,975,975 kilometers not the circular 363,853,292 km. Don Barone

What is the name for a planet's speed in its orbit?
It is the orbital velocity (speed and direction) or orbital speed (rate of motion). It is usually stated as "average orbital speed" but is actually "mean orbital speed."
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
What is Orbital Speed?
The orbital speed of a planet is a direct result of the gravitational force between that planet and the Sun. The greater the force, the faster the speed.
What planets orbital speed is about 30 kilometers per second?
earth orbital speed is 30 kilometers per second!!
What is the orbital speed of mars?
55,000 mph

What does the words orbital speed mean?
Orbital speed is the velocity (speed) of an object as it travels an orbital path around a reference point.
What is the orbital speed of Titan?
average orbital speed of 9.69km/s
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
What is the formula for orbital speed?
Orbital speed = (circumference of the orbit) / (period of revolution)
How is orbital speed determined?
Orbital speed of a satellite: v - orbital speed G - gravitational consatnt R - radius of earth h - height of orbit

How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
