How Fast?
• The Earth, at the equator, rotating on it’s axis– 1,040 miles per hour
– In Portland, roughly 520 mile per hour

How Fast?
• The Earth revolving around the sun– 67,000 miles per hour

How Fast?
• The Sun revolving around the Milky Way Galaxy– 486,000 miles per hour

How Fast?
• The Milky Way Galaxy moving with the local cluster towards the constellation Hydra– 1,340,000 miles per
hour
