Space Trivia: The Earth travels in at least 5 directions at the same time!!
In how many different directions does the Earth move at the same time?
1) It is spinning once every day. ...
2) It orbits the Sun once a year.
3) The axis of the spinning of the Earth, actually moves (called precession) every 22,000 years, so that TODAY Polaris is overhead at the North Pole, in a thousand years time it will not be.
4) The earth moves with the rest of the Solar System around the center of our galaxy the Milky Way) every 225,000,000 years.
5) Our local group of galaxies are rushing through space relative to other groups of galaxies.

How many directions does the earth move in relation to the known universe?
Relative to all gravities, matter, and cosmic effects that govern the direction of systems larger than a single planet, and all the finite impositions of things equal to or smaller than planets, it can be perceived that all such effects add up to a movement that constitutes all possible directions or vectors in a single moment. This would make the answer to your question ALL OF THEM or INFINITY.

Well, that explains why I can't keep things straight today and feel like my head is spinning! I just thought I was busy.
