Most of us go about our daily lives, giving little thought as to what our world is doing or where it's going.
British spelling.
If you were standing on the equator, the widest part of the Earth, you'd be speeding along at 1,600 kilometres per hour, due to Earth spinning on its axis once every 24 hours.
Travelling around the Sun on its yearly trip, the Earth is racing along at 107,000 km/h.
The Earth along with the other 7 planets and countless other objects follow the Sun on its journey around the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. That orbit is called a galactic year and takes an estimated 230 million years to complete. Travelling around the galaxy, the Earth is speeding along at roughly 292,000 km/h.
So you could say that the Earth is roughly 20 galactic years old, which sounds a lot younger than 4.5 billion years.
To top it off, our galaxy with us on board is travelling through space at over 2 million km/h, and we don't even notice it.
