Awesome Facts About Planet Earth

The Solar System

The Sun is at the center of the solar system.


Other bodies - planets, asteroids, and comets - revolve around the Sun. Earth, as one of the planets, also revolves around the Sun. 

Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun. 

The distance from Earth to the sun — called an astronomical unit— is 92,955,807 miles according to the International Astronomers Union.

In one year, Earth travels about 584 million miles. 

Earth's speed is calculated by dividing 584 million miles by­­ 365.25 days and dividing that result by 24 hours to get miles per hour.

So, Earth travels about 1.6 million miles a day, or 66,627 miles per hour.
