Our Earth revolves on it's own axis once every twenty-four hours, annually circles our Sun, one of several hundred billion suns that constitute our galaxy.

This Sun travels at the rate of 136 miles per second around the periphery of our native Milky Way galaxy, circling it once every 230 million years.

In 8.3 minutes, our Sun has moved 67,728 miles.
