About ⥠How Fast Are You Moving?
It does not feel like it, but you are never truly still. This interactive page adds up the four great motions you are part of every single second. First, the Earth spins on its axis â about 1,670 km/h at the equator. Second, the Earth orbits the Sun at roughly 107,000 km/h. Third, the entire Solar System sweeps around the centre of the Milky Way galaxy at around 828,000 km/h. And finally, relative to the leftover glow of the Big Bang, our galaxy itself drifts at about 2.1 million km/h. Watch the live counters climb as the distances stack up from the moment you opened the page â and switch between kilometres and miles. It is a fun, mind-bending reminder of just how fast our calm little planet is really travelling through the universe.
