Answer: How do the speeds at which we are moving with Earth's rotation and orbit compare to the speeds of more familiar objects? Earth's rotation carries most people around the axis faster than a commercial jet travels, and Earth's orbit carries us around the Sun faster than the Space Shuttle orbits Earth.
