Reference+Point+Earth+Galaxy

__ Reference Point __ (Copy the following pictures and black text) Your Motion in Space:

If you were way out in outer-space, why would you not be able to tell if you were moving? Draw the following: A reference point is required to determine if something is moving. Draw the following, but make them small and simple. (Reference point, Earth's Axis) (1000 m/h at the equator, 0 at the poles, and 860 m/h at our latitude) ||  ||   ||   || You are moving at about 30 km/s due to the Earth orbiting the Sun. (Reference point, the Sun) (30,000 meter-sticks per second) (One orbit per 365.25 days) ||  ||   ||   || You are moving at about 230 km/s due to the galaxy's spin. (Reference point, center of the galaxy) (230,000 meter-sticks per second) (143 miles per second) (Earth circles once every 250 million years) ||
