They are both moving at the same angular speed: 360 degrees per 24 hrs, roughly. That's one complete rotation in a standard 24 hr day.
But...a big BUT...the gent at the pole (either one) has no...no...tangential speed. Which is found from V = Wr = W R cos(LAT) where W is the angular speed and r = R cos(LAT) is the axis of rotation. R is the radius of the planet Earth, roughly 6400 km. And LAT (0 to 90 deg) is the latitude where the person is standing (LAT = 90 is the N. pole for example).
So at the N. pole, we find that V = Wr = (2*pi())/24)6400cos(radians(90)) = 0 because at LAT = 90 deg the rotation axis r = 0. NOTE: 2pi() is a math equivalent to 360 degrees.
But at the equator, we have V = ((2*pi())/24)6400cos(radians(0)) = 1666 km/hr at LAT = 0 deg because the rotation axis is equal to the Earth's radius of about 6400 km. ANS.

∙ 8y agoDue to earths rotation:-
1670 kilometers/hour or 1037 miles/hour.
However, the Earth itself if moving round the Sun at 107,000 kilometers/hour.
And,
The orbital speed of the Solar System about the center of the Milky Way is approximately 828,000 Kilometers/hour.
Also,
The milky way is moving very fast through the universe but we can not measure that because there is no frame of reference to measure its speed against.
Also,
The Universe is also expanding but as above it is difficult to measure this.
However,
It IS possible to measure our motion and speed in terms of red/blue shifts observed in the cosmic background radiation (produced shortly after the big bang) that surrounds us, as this provides a unique frame of reference. This would seem to indicate we are actually moving at 2.1 million Kilometers/hour.

How fast are you moving relative to the earth when you are standing still?
"Standing still" IS a measurement relative to the Earth. Relative toother things, you are moving with high speeds in complicated paths.But relative to the Earth, you are standing still.
How fast are you moving in miles per hour from west to east at the equator?
1,040 miles per hour (rounded)
Where on Earth would you have to be standing in order to be spinning the fastest?
At the equator, just like when a basketball spins on your finger, the poles don't move and the middle moves fast.
Is a dolphin a slow moving or a fast moving animal?
A dolphin is a fast moving animal if you think about it.
Which has a larger wavelength a slow moving photon or a fast moving golf ball?
there are no slow moving photons, they move at speed of light.
What is the least known fact about the earth?
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
How fast are you moving relative to earth when you are standing still?

Why aircraft looks standstill at certail height?
Because they are at so much height that a person watching from down can't imagine how fast it is moving but due to the far distance it looks as it is standing.
How fast does the earth spin in miles per hour?
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 hourThe 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 about1,040 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 movingtoward 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 do you do if you think the relationship is moving too fast?
You should confront the other person and tell them how you feel. Tell them that you think the relationship is moving to fast. If they really love you they will understand.
How fast does the earth spin in Sacramento?
That depends on where on Earth you are standing. At the poles, the Earth hardly spins at all, but as you travel towards the equator, the rotational speed picks up
Are dingoes fast moving or slow moving?
fast moving
What is the velocity in meters per second of a person at the equator due to the earths rotation?
AnswerAt the equator the earth spins at 0.0005 Meters per second. Here's a bit more data -- you can do the math. ;-)•How fast is the Earth spinning? 0.5 km/sec•How fast is the Earth revolving around the Sun? 30 km/sec •How fast is the Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy? 250 km/sec •How fast is our Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies? 300 km/secThe answer is incorrect. If you do the math, then the velocity would be 500m/sec..0005m/s equates to .0000005km/s.
