With the orbital path of the earth around the sun at approximately 93 million miles every 365.25 days in our calendar, the earth is moving @ an estimated 18.5 miles per second (30 kilometers per second roughly). To get the speed of an object, you have to divide distance traveled over the elapsed time it took to get to that distance.

What is the speed of the earth to escape the sun's gravity?

The escape velocity from the Sun at the Earth's distance is about 42.1 km/s. This means that for an object to escape the Sun's gravity at this distance, it would need to travel at that speed. The Earth's orbital speed around the Sun is about 30 km/s, so it is not moving fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity.
