Earth & Sky

Whirling In Space

We NEVER are still. Every minute of our lives we are on the go. Even while lifting a glass of water from the table to our lips we travel 30 or 40 miles. The earth and everything on it moves 18½ miles spacce in its orbit or circle-like journey around the sun. We always are moving from west to east, too, because the earth turns ment is much like that of a top that is spinning and at the same time making a wide sweep around the room. You may wonder at the thought of this earth of ours moving of ours moving in these different ways and at such speeds. But this has been going on for many millions of years before you were born and will no doubt continue for as many more millions of years in the future.
