Aunt Jen Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 So if you're sitting still, how fast are you going? Earth spin on axis Orbit sun Orbit galaxy Gslaxy moves toward Grewt Attractor... So you're going faster at night than day Faster in winter than summer Faster in some aeons than others, As depends on where you are in Milky Way's rush to Great Attractor. But roughly, to make it simple: 1.3 million miles per hour, give or take. http://astrosociety.org/edu/publications/tnl/71/howfast.html

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 1024 +- miles per hour ....at the equator. Would have to adjust for your given attitude.

Aunt Jen Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 1.3 mil MPH... "62 in a 55? But officer..."
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Nothing is as fast as Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He can get there and back before he left!
Aunt Jen Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Jennifer Livingston Seagull? I met Richard Bach at Oshkosh. Wonderful. I love his books.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Jennifer Livingston Seagull? I met Richard Bach at Oshkosh. Wonderful. I love his books. Me too. I've still got copies of "Illusions', "One", "Stranger To The Ground", and "Jonathan.......". My 12 yrs old grandaughter is a voracious, and I mean voracious reader. She went though Jonathan in less than an hour. I think she just gobbles up printed words. She just started "War and Peace". Can you imagine a twelve year old reading Tolstoy?
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 1024 +- miles per hour ....at the equator. Would have to adjust for your given attitude. If I have a good "attitude" will I be going faster or slower? Blackfoot
