As with all similar speed problems, just divide the distance by the speed! In this case, if the distance is in miles, the time will be in hours.
An object in orbit is in what is known as "free-fall". The best way to understand this is to realise that the object has 2 motions: down, and sideways.An object 1000 miles high in orbit will fall down towards the centre of the earth exactly 1000 miles. BUT, in the time it takes it to fall that 1000 miles, it moves EXACTLY 1000 miles sideways, so it is still exactly 1000 miles above the earth. It then falls exactly 1000 miles towards the centre of the earth, but in that time, moves another 1000 miles sideways, so it's STILL 1000 miles above the earth.Now, change that 1000 miles down, for 10 miles, or 1 mile, or 1 inch, AND, change the 1000 miles sideways for 10 miles, 1 mile, 1 inch.The concept of a stable orbit is that for each unit the object moves DOWN, it moves sideways far enough that it is still exactly the same height above the centre of what it is orbiting.
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.
The earth spins at approx 1000 mile per hour. This is quite simple to calculate - the circumference of the planet is 24000 miles approx - and there are 24 hours in a day.
The sun is moving through the galaxy at about a half a million miles per hour. Earth orbits the sun at about an eighth of that speed and the Milkyway Galaxy is moving at about a million miles per hour. Earths rotational speed is comparatively irrelevant. (about 1000 miles per hour) So earth is moving between .5 and 1.5 million miles per hour or .2% to .5% of the speed of light
1000 miles
I think the earth is 93000000 miles from the sun and it spins at about 1000 miles per hour hence it is about 24000 miles around and one revolution is one day
The average distance from Earth to Venus is 93,205,678.8 miles. It would take 93,205.7 hours or about 10.6 years to get there at 1,000 miles per hour.
1000/25 = 40 hours.

1000 divided by 80 = 12.5Hrs
950-1000 Miles, you can measure on Google Earth

Yes, over 1000 miles per hour.
Neither, effects would be mostly localized to 1000 mile area targeted. Effects of fallout radiation is unpredictable though due to weather, mostly wind and precipitation. Earth is far bigger.
Hurricane Katrina comes at about 1000 miles per hour.

It has not exploded in the past 4600 millionyears so it is very unlikely to explode in the next 1000 years.
