Earth's speed through space, whoa!

[Menehune Man]

It's incredible how fast we're traveling through space!

Not only are we in constant rotation, but orbiting the Sun, while our whole galaxy flys through space.

Re: Earth's speed through space, whoa!

Whoa is right. The earth doesn't move through space - there's no such thing as a fixed 'space' for the earth to move through. The earth may 'move' relative to other objects and reference systems in space, but not relative to space itself.

Better to 'blow your mind' with a truth than with a misconception.
