The Earth rotates at a rate of slightly over 15 arc-seconds per second.
The actual speed of rotation depends on latitude. It's greatest at the equator. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed is about 465 meters per second.

HOW FAST DOES Neptune ROATATE?
Neptune rotates on its axis at a speed of about 16 hours and 6 minutes, resulting in a relatively slow rotation compared to Earth's 24-hour day. This means that Neptune has a longer day than Earth.
How long does it take saturn to make a revolution?
Saturn has the second fastest spin out of the eight planets, after Jupiter. It takes 10 hours and 14 mins to make one full revolution on its axis.
Does jupiter has a longer day than earth?
No. Jupiter rotates very fast, and a "day" on Jupiter is a little under 10 hours long.
Is this true or false the length of a planet's year is determined by how fast it spins?
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
How fast does the sun move in earth days?
250kilometers per second
How fast is the earth spinning on it's axis?
The Earth rotates once per day.
How slow or fast does earth rotate?
The planet Earth rotates on its axis exactly once per day.
Which planets rotates fast?
Jupiter rotates fastest at 9.9 hours and is closely followed by Saturn which rotates on its axis in 10 hours.
What planet rotates as fast as earth?
Mars
Does neptune have any special featurs?
Yes. It rotates about its axis once in every 16 Earth hours. That is immensely fast for a giant planet. (Contrast this with Earth's 24-hour period of rotation).
It is how fast the earth moves?
The Earth rotates at about 1,040 miles per hour.
Is the earth moving under your feet?
Yes, the earth rotates but too fast for us to notice.
Describe two ways that the earth is different from the sun?
The earth is smaller, cooler, greener, wetter, less massive, and more dense than the sun. It emits less electromagnetic radiation, and rotates on its axis 30 times as fast as the sun.
Why is a winter day colder than a summer day even though we are closer to the sun in the winter?
Because the earth's axis is tilted. From September to March, the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This means that the sun is at a lower angle and doesn't heat the atmosphere as well as it does in summer -- so it's colder.
Why sunset is fast?
The appearance of the sun setting quickly is an optical illusion caused by the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins, the sun appears to move across the sky, creating the effect of a fast-setting sun. In reality, the sun sets at a consistent rate.
How fast does the sun go down?
the sun does not go downvthe earth rotates.
Which planet rotates more slowly than any other?
Venus (about once a year). Not Mars, it rotates almost as fast as Earth.
