We're actually running into the space junk as we hurtle 80,000 miles an
hour around the Sun. The entire Solar System is moving too, but I forgot
how fast.

As you stand on the earth, you are moving at over 1,000 MPH. As, the
earth is over 25,000 miles in diameter, it makes one revolution (turn) in
24 Hrs.


Only if you are standing on the Equator.
