Hard drives are so fast that they're essentially like a Boeing 747 going 600 mph 3 feet off the ground counting blades of grass as it flies by

Earth has traveled more than 5,000 miles in the past five minutes.

Without the moon, a day on Earth would only be 6 to 12 hours long.

The Milky Way rotates at a speed of 168 miles per second. In the last hour, you've traveled roughly 604,000 miles through space.

On Venus a day is longer than a year

Uranus is tilted on its side, likely from some kind of collision in its past

Earthquakes are truly powerful --- they can even make the Earth spin faster.

Venus spins backward on its axis compared to all the other planets in our solar system

Neutron stars can spin at a rate of 600 rotations per second

The Milky Way rotates at a speed of 168 miles per second. So, the actual place in space where you were an hour ago is now roughly 600,000 miles away.

Venus rotates so slowly, you'd be able to watch the sunset forever just by walking towards it.

The earth is rotating at a speed of 1,040 MPH

Black holes are rotational, typically spinning like a planet on an axis at almost the speed of light with larger black holes. A giant blackhole can be spinning at a rate of one revolution every 10 minutes to an hour
