As I sit in my recliner pondering the speed of the earth around the sun...

That speed is ~66,000 miles per hour (18 miles per second).

So if anyone nags you about sitting in your chair all day, "not going anywhere", show them this.

There are 3,600 seconds in an hour.

That's 18 x 3,600 MILES you've traveled every hour you were sitting on your butt!

From the Universe’s perspective, I understand we are all traveling 1.3 million mph, give or take...

Not only that, but the absolute direction and speed of the planet’s motion is measured by the Doppler shift of the cosmic background radiation.
