Question 949290: As you sit in your chair, you are whirling through space with Earth as it moves around the sun. If the average distance from Earth to the sun is 1.4957 X 10 to the 11th power M and Earth completes one revolution every 364.25 days, what is your "sitting" speed in space relative to the sun? Give answer in km/h, rounded to the nearest 100 km/h.

As you sit in your chair, you are whirling through space with Earth as it moves around the sun.

-----------
If you mean 1.4957e11 meters for the radius:
C = 2pi*r =~ 9.39776e11 meters = 9.39776e8 kms per year.
r = d/t
r = 9.39776e8 km/(364.25*24) hr
r =~ 107501.26 km/hr
