geological movement

[makemeknowit]

am i right in saying that since the earth was created we have moved 43254239.87 km or have i miss calculated

[Loosehead]

distance is only meaningful if you state what it's relative too. The figure you mention seems very low for the orbital distance so I would you have mis calculated.

[Teddio]

Are you referring to tectonic activity? ie. the relative distance moved by the UK due to continental drift?
If you assume continental drift has been going on for the last 4000 million years at an average speed of 3cm per year then the distance moved will be 12000 million cm which is 120000km. A very rough estimate!

hhhm i mean i timesed the speed of light by the age of the earth and got that in terms of like red shift how far we have physically moved

Considering nothing other than the Earth's annual journey around the Sun, the distance you quoted,
"43254239.87 km", represents about the distance the Earth moves in 17 days; but then I don't know when you're thinking that the Earth was "created"?

WTF are you talking about ? whats the speed of light got to do with it ?

the earth rotates on its own axis, it also revolves around the sun, the solar system is rotating within our galaxy which is also rotating.
Our very own galaxy like all the other billions upon billions of galaxies is flying through the universal ether .

How fast is the Earth spinning? 0.5 km/sec
Earth revolves around the Sun 30 km/sec
Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy 250 km/sec
Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies 300 km/sec
Measurements, confirmed by the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite in 1989 and 1990, suggest that our galaxy and its neighbors, the so-called Local Group, are moving at 600 kilometers per second (1.34 million miles per hour) in the direction of the constellation Hydra

Speed of our Universe in a Multiverse ? unknown

So i would say to get a rough idea multiply
earths life in hours=4.0296 � 10 to the 13th by 1.34 million
its "moved" a long way.

Of course these calcs dont take into account the millions and millions of years the dust cloud that we formed from travelled, but i think you get the point.

It also doesnt take into account all the rotational distances.
Im sure when youve done your calcs youll get back to us though
