How Fast Does Earth Travel In Its Orbit?

Earth travels around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. It moves fastest at perihelion (closest to the Sun, around January 4) and slowest at aphelion (farthest from the Sun, around July 4). At perihelion, Earth’s orbital speed is 67,750 mph (109,033 km/h). At aphelion, it’s 65,500 mph (105,412 km/h). On average, we zoom around the Sun at 66,600 mph (107,182 km/h).
