[DeTomaso] Definition of Ins. EE response

Hi Dave,

this is probably too much for most, but what the heck, its a slow week and fun to think about.

if you take the cosine of your latitude and multiply by 1038, you get your rotational velocity on Earth. So, for Santa Clara at around 37N, my rotational velocity is about 829 MPH - I'm supersonic while working under my Pantera! :)

The Earth orbits the sun at about 18.5 miles/sec, our solar system orbits the Milky Way at about 144 miles/sec, add in a sideways drift of about 12 miles/sec towards Hercules, galactic motion of about 80 miles/sec towards the great attractor, and finally total expansion of about 14 miles/sec for every million light years and I figured 210 was very conservative! :)

Of course its all relative so without a frame of reference, it has little value.

JB

Hey John
How did you pick that number.
- solar escape velocity?
- base solar wind velocity?
- our orbital velocity around the galactic centre?
Because it's all those things, or was it something farther out?
