Скачать или смотреть THE PLANET IS ACCELERATING: How Fast Are We Moving Right Now?

Every year, in the first days of January, Earth reaches its maximum orbital speed — the fastest it moves at any point in its journey around the Sun. This moment is quiet, invisible, and impossible to feel, yet it shapes the structure of our seasons, the balance of solar energy, and even the timing of Earth’s climate cycles.

In this calm science documentary, we explore why Earth accelerates in early January, how Kepler’s laws determine our orbital speed, and what it means for a planet to move faster or slower as it circles the Sun. At perihelion, Earth travels at approximately 30.29 km per second, a velocity that changes the length of seasons, affects how much sunlight each hemisphere receives, and influences the long-term rhythm of Earth’s climate system.

Despite this incredible speed, we feel nothing — because everything around us accelerates together. But the physics behind this phenomenon reveals a deeper story: Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle, and its changing speed plays a quiet yet fundamental role in the way time, temperature, and sunlight are distributed across the planet.
