. . . . The Earth orbits the Sun at about 30 km/s (about 108,000 km/h), completing one rotation per year. This speed is balanced by the Sun's gravity to keep the orbit stable, and if it slows down, it will be pulled by the Sun, and if it speeds up, it can deviate from the orbit. The constant orbital speed maintains the cycle of seasons and climate change, making it possible for life to exist. Mercury, which is close to the Sun, orbits quickly at about 47.9 km/s, and Neptune, which is farther away, orbits slowly at about 5.4 km/s. The Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical orbit at an intermediate speed, with the speed being fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion. This variation plays an important role in the formation of the four seasons. The Earth's orbital speed of 108,000 km/h is very fast by human standards, but it is 10,000 times slower than the speed of light (about 299,792 km/s). This speed is useful for space exploration and is imperceptible due to gravity on Earth. A stable orbital speed maintains the Earth's climate and environment, ensuring the sustainability of the ecosystem.
