As schoolchildren, we learn that the earth is moving about our sun in a very nearly circular orbit. It covers this route at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per second, or 67, miles per hour. In addition, our solar system--Earth and all--whirls around the center of our galaxy at some kilometers per second, or , miles per hour.
As we consider increasingly large size scales, the speeds involved become absolutely huge! The galaxies in our neighborhood are also rushing at a speed of nearly 1, kilometers per second towards a structure called the Great Attractor, a region of space roughly million light-years one light year is about six trillion miles away from us.
This Great Attractor, having a mass quadrillion times greater than our sun and span of million light-years, is made of both the visible matter that we can see along with the so-called dark matter that we cannot see.
Each of the motions described above were given relative to some structure. Our motion about our sun was described relative to our sun, while the motion of our local group of galaxies was described as toward the Great Attractor. The question arises: Is there some universal frame of reference relative to which we can define the motions of all things? In , the COBE satellite was placed in orbit about the earth again, the earth is the frame of reference!
This radiation, which remains from the immensely hot and dense primordial fireball that was our early universe, is known as the cosmic microwave background radiation CBR. The CBR presently pervades all of space.

I'm a fast reader so if I read a page book nonstop, it will probably take me around 4 hours or so to finish. I also agree with others that it depends on the books. Some books are easy and light to read; page chick-lits usually take me around 2 hours. Other books require more attention; reading The Hunger Games book took me one whole afternoon, the classics require a whole day, Dan Brown-style books require more.
You get the idea. Sometimes, if I love the book so much, I read them slowly to savor each scene. The Harry Potter books took me a week or two each. Jul 05, AM. It really depends on the book.

And of course, setting makes a difference too… When we have peace and quiet, anything goes. Great Poll! Jul 10, AM. This totally does depend on the book; if it's Dickens, it'll take much longer than a middle grade novel. Jul 13, PM. Jul 18, AM.

I only know this because I use to have one of those bookmarks that had a built-in timer. Jul 21, PM. Are you kidding? I started to read the Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare and finished it in the midnight. I'm not awesome, I was just got insomnia.

But pages would take me atleast 14 hours straight. Sep 02, AM. Erin wrote: "If I have a book that is over pages long then it would take me that long.
