EARTH orbital Ø: 113 230 656 Mkm (the “PVP” orbit)
Orbital circumference : 355 724 597 km
Diameter at equator: 12756.3 km
Equatorial circumference: 40075 km
Orbital speed: 1.601169 km/h or 0.000444 km/s (or 0.00149326% of the Sun’s orbital speed)
Rotational period : 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds (or 23.9345 h)
Rotational speed: 1676 km/h (i.e. 40075Km + 38.428 Km / 23.9345 h)
Earth moves by 38.428 km each day and by 14036 km each year.
Earth “covers 1 arcsecond” of its orbit every 7.1425 days during which it covers 274.47 km
274.47km is 0.00007716% of 355 724 597km (the circumference of Earth’s PVP orbit)
and in fact, 0.00007716% of 1 296 000 arcseconds (i.e. 360°) is 1 (or more precisely 0.99999)
