    Forget the orbit… remember the song…

    https://genius.com/Monty-python-the-galaxy-song-lyrics

    “Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
    And revolving
    at 900 miles an hour.
    It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second,
    so it’s reckoned,
    The sun that is the source of all our power.
    Now the sun, and you and me,
    and all the stars that we can see,
    Are moving at a million miles a day,
    In the outer spiral arm,
    at 40,000 miles an hour,
    Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.”
