The devaluation of these kinds of connections means that many people are also deeply confused by them, especially when they encounter queerplatonic partners in person. And I do say partner, and sometimes refer to the unit formed by a partner and myself as a couple, because we are. We function like a couple, we do things together, we are intimate with each other, though not necessarily in the way people expect. We are a couple.
| Cool Cosmos. Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) per hour and orbits around the Sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant.
This means that, at the equator, the surface of the Earth is spinning at around 1,700 km/h (40,000 km divided by 24 hours). This is called the Earthâs equatorial rotational speed, and itâs roughly twice the speed of a passenger jet. However, the rotational speed at a particular point on the Earthâs surface varies depending on the latitude. For example, a single rotation covers much less distance near the poles that it does at the equator.
