The Earth spins at a rate of about 15 degrees per hour. At the equator, the "tangent velocity" is about 1,066 miles per hour, and this speed decreases as latitude increases. At mid-latitudes in the United States - or in Australia - the velocity is between 600 and 800 miles per hour.
I learned it was about 1000 miles pur hour
The Earth spin speed in miles is 25000/24 or just over 1000 mph. This is based on the equators Earth circumference of 25,000 mi and that the Earth rotation is in 24 hrs.
The earth spins at the rate of (one complete spin plus a tiny bit more) every 24 hours.
If you're standing on the equator, then you're moving toward the east at about
1,040 miles per hour.
If you're standing halfway between the equator and either the north or south pole,
then you're moving toward the east at about 735 miles per hour.
If you're standing 70 miles from the north or south pole, then you're moving
toward the east at about 18 miles per hour.
If you're standing right on top of the north or south pole, then you're just spinning,
not moving east or west.

What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
Why cant you see the earth spinning from space?
We can't feel the earth spinning, yet it is moving fast. The size of the earth is so big it doesn't look like it's spinning. Remember it takes around 24 hours to spin once.
How does the earth spin and rotate?
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
What happens on the earth on account of rotation?
A complete spin of the earth on it's own axis is the rotation. It takes approx. 24 hour for earth to take one complete rotation.
Is the Earth's equatorial circumference the same as the polar circumference?
No. The polar circumference of the Earth is smaller than the equatorial circumference by about 41 miles or about 67 km. The Earth is a slightly "oblate spheroid" meaning it is slightly flattened (0.336%) at the poles, and bulging at the equator, due to its spin. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). The polar circumference of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). See related questions and links for additional details.
How fast does the core spin?
it spins at 5000 miles an hour
How fast can fang Leone spin beyblade?
over 50 miles per hour
How in miles per hour does the earth spin at the north pole?
about 900miles to 1100miles
How fast does the world spin in 1 hour in miles per hour?
At the equator, that's about the right answer. As you go north or south of the equator, the speed becomes lower and lower, and at the poles you are essentially spinning in place.
Speed of rising sun?
The Earth spins at about 1000 miles per hour (This is a general assumption for the sake of argument - actually how fast the Earth spins depends where you are on the planet). It is the spin of the Earth that gives us our days and nights. Therefore it is not so much a matter of how fast the Sun rises, but rather how fast our Earth spins in relation to the Sun since our planet remains at a fairly constant relative distance from our nearest star. To answer the question in general terms - the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West at about 1000 miles an hour.
How fast does the Great Red Spot on Jupiter spin?
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter spins at a speed of around 400 kilometers per hour (about 250 miles per hour). It completes one rotation in about six Earth days.
Tornadoes can spin up to how many miles per hour?
365 miles per hour
How fast are does it spin in the center of the earth?
hello
Does atmosphere on earth also rotate along with earth?
The atmosphere rotates with the Earth, pretty much.In fact, given that the prevailing winds are generally from the west, the atmosphere as a whole is probably rotating just a little FASTER than the Earth does.
How fast does Saturn spin?
Saturn spins faster then earth
How fast does a tire spin at 70mph?
At 70 miles per hour a tire with a rim 15 inches wide will spin 129 times per minute, approximately. You can google a tire spin calculator that lets you in put speed and tire size to get whatever answer you need.
If the earth is spinning 1000 miles per hour why don't you feel wind?
The atmosphere is spinning with us. _________________ If you don't feel wind, ever, you are not on earth. The atmosphere is spinning with the earth, but the spin of the earth does have some effect on the atmosphere. Remember that the estimate of 1000 miles per hour is for the region around the equator; the velocity reduces to zero as you approach the poles.
