the sun 'sets' on another year

congratulations on another cicumnavigation of the sun!!! that's a long, long way to travel, even as captive passenger.

The earth's speed of spin around its axis is approximately 1,000 mph. TThe Earth rotates once in a few minutes under a day (23 hours 56 minutes 04. 09053 seconds). This is called the sidereal period (which means the period relative to stars). The sidereal period is not exactly equal to a day because by the time the Earth has rotated once, it has also moved a little in its orbit around the Sun, so it has to keep rotating for about another 4 minutes before the Sun seems to be back in the same place in the sky that it was in exactly a day before.

An object on the Earth's equator will travel once around the Earth's circumference (40,075.036 kilometers) each sidereal day. So if you divide that distance by the time taken, you will get the speed of rotation (1670 Kph or 1038 mph).

The earth's speed of orbit around the sun is approximately 67,000 mph. It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour. The circumference of the Earth's orbit is about 940 million kilometers, so if you divide that by the hours in a year (8760) you will get our orbital speed in kilometers per hour (107306 Kph or 66680 mph)

......just a bit of advice for your hopefully, long, long journey...

be well-fortified , and pick your own poison. my poison potions are exquisite beers, the finest bourbons, perpetual bach, and the miraculous state of being alive.

whether your desire be religion, love, cocaine, sex, gambling, pharms, loving, giving, loco weed

money, or political power, does it really matter?

they are all temporary highs, and each has its cost.

I WISH YOU SAFE AND LONG TRAVELS, MY FRIEND....
