Earth
The text states that our planet moves through space at a speed of 2.16 million kilometers per hour.
The claim that Earth moves at a speed of 2.16 million km/h is not supported by the evidence. Reliable sources indicate that Earth rotates at about 1,670 km/h (1,040 mph) and orbits the Sun at approximately 107,000 km/h (67,000 mph). When considering the movement of the Solar System through the galaxy, the speed is around 720,000 km/h, which is still significantly less than the claimed 2.16 million km/h. Thus, the claim is incorrect based on the data available.
