Question
The Earth's orbit around the Sun is not perfectly circular, but it’s near enough that we can pretend it is for the sake of this problem. The Earth goes through one full revolution per 365.25 days, and the radius of its orbit is about 93 million miles, so how much is the Earth's "linear speed" with respect to the Sun? Round to 2 significant digits.
