We are moving at.....

Do we stand still in front of our computer....Maybe relative to the ground..But we are moving at more than the speed of sound around Earth's axis during one day!

The Earth moves at 30 km/sec around the Sun.

The Sun (solar system) moves at 20 km/sec towards Vega.

The Sun moves around the Galaxy at 270 km/sec in the direction of Cygnus.

Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, moves at 600 km/sec in the universe and our planet has a net motion of 400 km/sec in the direction of Leo.
