How many miles per hour does the earth move around the sun?
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.

Given a 24-hour day and 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth, it is obvious that the world's standard time zones have to be 15 degrees wide, on average. It is worth mentioning that some sources claim there are 24 standard time zones, while others say there are 25 time zones.

Is Mt Everest the tallest mountain in the world?
Mount Everest is the highest, but the tallest is actually Mauna Kea in Hawaii. This is because 'highest' is defined as a measure of mean sea level to summit, while 'tallest' is a measurement from the bottom of the mountain to the top. From it's base to it's tip, Mauna Kea measures 33,465 feet.
