You are awesomely wrong!

The above is true for longitude, not latitude. The tilt of the earth's axis is approx 23° and over the course of a year, the midday sun appears to move from being overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (Midsummer in the northern hemisphere) to the Tropic of Capricorn (Midwinter) and back again. So, the average speed is 0.0107 degrees per hour. However, in fact the speed follows a sine curve and so depends on the time of the year.
