While the mean speed of the Earth on its solar orbit is about 30km/sec, what is its approximate speed during the both equinoxes and the both solstices ?

Yuri B. said:Thank you. But the difference is so small ? Then I do not understand why the day increase is so different at 23 December and at 23 March, for instance.

Yuri B. said:Yes, thank you I have understood already why day in/de-crease slowly at solstices and do so more rapidly at equinoxes - angular speeds at perihelion/ aphelion vs the other parts of the orbit (do not know the right term) are different, not speed of Earth as I imagined.
The average speed of Earth on its orbit around the sun is about 107,000 kilometers per hour or 67,000 miles per hour.
Yes, the speed of Earth on its orbit varies throughout the year due to its elliptical orbit and the gravitational pull of other planets.
The speed of Earth on its orbit does not directly affect our seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis is what causes the change in seasons.
The speed of Earth on its orbit is determined by its distance from the sun, the gravitational pull of the sun, and the pull of other planets in the solar system.
No, the speed of Earth on its orbit is not constant. It may vary slightly due to external factors such as gravitational pull from other planets, but it remains relatively consistent over long periods of time.
