Simple question:- "What is the fastest speed that you have ever travelled?"

What if I told you that I knew the correct answer before you said anything?

Better still, what if I told you that the fastest speed you had ever travelled at was "approximately 64,000" Miles Per Hour (or 18 Miles Per Second). You would probably laugh your head off.

IT IS TRUE. The earth travels at approximately 64000 MPH.

Simple geometry. The sun is at the centre of the earth's orbit. The sun is aproximately 93 million miles away from earth. So the diameter of the earth's orbit is 186 million miles. Using the formula Pi times D where D is the diameter of the circle (orbit) and Pi is valued at 22/7 (or approximately 3) So roughly the earth travels 558 million miles in one year. Divide by 365 gives 1.529 million miles in one day. Divide again this time by 24 to find out how far the earth travels in one hour = Roughly 64,000 MPH

Isn't mathematics wonderful.
