I got 29785 m/s too. 18.5 miles per second and 66627 mph. For some reason I
thought it would be faster than this.

Would someone be kind enough to confirm the speed the earth travels
through space in it's Sun orbit - ignoring Galaxy expansion (son's science
homework).

I make it 466,017 metres per second on average.

Thanks.
