Are you aware staying in the same place we travel about 19,200 Kms ( 12,000 Miles) in 24 hours along with the earth's rotation !

I was not aware of the distance or rate of travel, thank you for that though. My kids correct themselves when they notice they say "The sun moved from here to there" and rephrase it to indicate the movement of the Earth rather than the movement of the Sun. They brightened up when they learned that concept for some reason.

I don't know just how fast I am moving at my latitude, but I have been instructing my students about this in my labs. Earth's equatorial circumference is 40,075.02 km (24,901.46) 40,075.02 ÷ 24 = 1669.79 km/h or 1037.56 miles/h Hmm, I wonder. Do you think that I could use this as an excuse the next time I get a speeding ticket? "But, officer, I was just trying to keep up with the Earth's surface!"

Who cares about stupid planet rotation! I haven't got out of this city for like 6 months, I want to go somewhere and I want it now! :)

I'm hanging on as tightly as I can:)

Yes, and we travel 2,573,232 km in 24 hours along with the earth revolution around the Sun. "Avg. orbital speed: 29.783 km/s 107,218 km/h" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth Moreover, because we are following the Sun: "Velocity ~2.20×10^5 m/s (orbit around the center of the Galaxy) ~2×10^4 m/s (relative to average velocity of other stars in stellar neighborhood)" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

Yeah!

Yes to quote a wise man: What a weirs strange trip it's been. I knew the figures were close to that but I didn't know exactly for sure what they were.
