1. Driving around the Earth. The distance around the Earth is very nearly 25,000 miles. Imagine that you could drive a car at 60 miles per hour all the way around the Earth. How long would this take? Express your answer in days. 2. Driving to the Moon. The average distance between the Earth and Moon is 239,000 miles. At 60 mph, how long would a drive to the Moon take? Express your answer in days. 3. Speed of the Earth around the Sun. The Earth orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path with an average radius of 93,000,000 miles. The time required to make one orbit is, by definition, one year (365.25 days). Given this information, calculate the average speed (in miles per hour) of the Earth in its journey around the Sun. 1.
