The math ain’t mathing here. If that were true, in one hour the earth would be 80,000 km away from the ISS. I looked it up and everything you said is true, but something must be lost in translation
It’s because those are relative speeds. The ISS speed is relative to the position of the earth. For the earth’s speed, I’d venture to guess it’s measuring the speed relative to either the sun or the galactic center.
ISS travels at 28,000km/ph
Earth travels at 107,826km/ph
Any bike on Earth is the fastest bike in the universe.
In that reference frame, the speed of the ISS varies between 79,826 and 135,826 km/h.
I always use myself as the center of the universe. The earth moves very erratically. Calculating the position of Mars rovers is really interesting.
Yeah but the whole solar system is moving at 720,000 km/h, so all those bikes on other planets are moving just as fast.

The iss speed is relative to earth. The earth speed is probably relative to the sun. There’s no common frame of reference between the two numbers.

The guy managed to connect button presses to letters to chain of thoughts it’s fair to assume he was being sarcastic.
When the ISS moves in the same direction as Earth relative to the sun than the bike on the ISS goes 135826 kph
We can go faster, get a bike on Mercury!
