The earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. As the earth's circumference is roughly 24,000 miles, at the equator the rotation speed works out to 1000 miles per hour.
The radius of earth's orbit about the sun is about 93 million miles. This circuit is completed every 365 days. 584 million divided by 365 is 1.6 million miles per day, or 67,900 miles per hour. That's clipping pretty fast.
Finally, the sun drags the earth and the other seven planets around the galaxy once every 200 million years. The radius of that orbit is roughly 30,000 light years. The math there works out to a sedate 39,000 miles per hour, if I calculated right.

The earth has just the right combination of velocity and radius from the sun to maintain a stable orbit
