If you add up the speed (not the velocity) of the Earth's rotation and revolution the speed of Sol moving in revolution around the Milky Way and the speed of MW how fast are we moving?

The concept is fascinating. But there's one missing piece of vital information that
stands in the way of formulating an answer: 'Moving' relative to what, or to where ?
In fact, the question crumbles into even smaller pieces when you consider that the
speed of Earth's rotation, it's speed of revolution, the speed of the Sun's revolution
within the Milky Way, and the speed of the galaxy itself, are each stated relative to
different references !

First, it really doesn't make sense to add speeds. You have to add velocities. Of course, it might be more difficult to find information, in what direction each of these movements is, than just looking up the speeds. But in any case, adding speeds doesn't really give you any useful information.
Second, the speed or velocity of the Milky Way... compared to what, exactly? You need to clarify that. Options include the velocity with respect to the center of mass of the Local Group, or the velocity as measured by the cosmic background radiation.

What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?
Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.
What causes the Coriolanus effect?
Earths rotation around its axis
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
How does earths rotation differ from its revolution?
The word "rotation" is used when something turns around its own axis - which is inside the object. In the case of Earth, this happens once a day (more precisely, every 23h 56m). The word "revolution" is used when an object goes around another object. In the case of the Earth, the other object would be the Sun; it takes Earth a year to go around once.
What is by the rotation and revolution of the planet?
the earths rotation around the sun is 365 days . hope this helps (:
What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
What role does the earths axis play in rotation and revolution?
The axis is what the Earth rotates around, like the axis on a wheel.
What are the earths two principal motions?
Rotation- the spinning of earth about its axis Revolution- movement of earth in its orbit around the sun :)
What is rotation in space?
The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles
What is the difference between seasons and day and night?
the seasons are caused from earths revolution(1 circle around the sun) while day and night occur from earths rotation (earth spinning on its axis)
What is the rotation and revolution of a planet?
The revolution of a planet refers to the entire elliptical "race-track" path that it travels around the sun. Within our solar system, the time for the planets to complete one full revolution ranges from 88 Earth-days to 248 Earth-years. The time it takes for one of the Earth's revolutions around the sun is 1 year.

Does the earths revolution around the sun causes the sun to rise in the east and set in the west everyday?
No, the Earth's revolution around the sun is not related to the rising and setting of the sun on a daily basis, which is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis.
What rotates in space?
The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
How does rotation differ from revolution?
Rotation is spinning on an object's axis. Revolution is orbiting around an external axis.
