Nothing is stationary or standing. The earth is spinning as you read this. It orbits the Sun moving through space around its massive core at a staggering speed of 470,000 miles per hour, and our universe moves at a staggering speed of 1.3 million miles per hour.

Remember you are reading this without moving your body. But everything in the universe moves from the Earth (Earth), which rotates at about 1700 km/h, through the Solar System, and even through the Milky Way.

All planets in the solar system wander through space, as do their individual satellites. In fact, the Earth must move at a speed of about 30 km/s to maintain a stable orbit. Mercury and Venus, the innermost planets of our system, move faster through space, while Mars and the outer planets of the solar system move more slowly.
