David,
I have a visualization for this: 
A wagon wheel rolling down the road is our galaxy, the hub is the galaxy center moving through the universe on whatever path physics dictates 

Our sun is a point on the wheel rim, spinning around the hub. The planets & asteroids & dust & whatever else are spinning around that single point as it spins around the hub. Our moons & space stations & Starlinks are then spinning around the planets as they spin around the sun which spins around the galaxy black hole hub which...

So it's a bunch of spinning systems that get smaller & smaller.

Hi Mike,

There are multiple forces moving us around constantly. The rotation of the earth, the earth around the sun, the sun through the galaxy, the galaxy through space (which itself relates to multiple factors). The largest of these, by far, is the motion of the galaxy through space, which has variously been estimated at around 130/mps.

I've never seen a calculation of the sum of all factors on our motion, but one must surely exist. 

Disclaimer: I don't carry more that a few numbers in my head, so I looked up that the difference in weight owing to centrifical force at the equator is around 0.5%. 

All the best,
