Thanks all. Recalced it to around 29,750 mps

Seems a little slow but maths is maths I guess.

Would any body care to estimate the speed of it from the perspective of a
fixed point in space? (Just for fun)

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.
