That depends on where you are standing. At either pole, earth rotates once every 24 hours (as it does everywhere else), but you don't really move at all with respect to its center. We can do some rough calculations. Earth's diameter is roughly 8000 miles, making its circumference approximately 24 thousand miles (Ï€d). 24 thousand miles divided by 24 hours gives you 1000 miles per hour, or 1610 km per hour.

The actual rotational velocity varies a bit from day to day for a variety of reasons.
At the equator, that would be 40,000 km / 24 hours,

or about 1700 kilometers per hour.

By not proofreading your question, you've left it in a form where it could be

either one of two different questions. Here are the answers to both of them:

-- In its orbit around the sun, the Earth sails along at roughly 107,300 km per hour.

-- A person standing on the rotating surface of the Earth is spinning along at

roughly 1,670 km per hour if he's on the equator, and 1,180 km per hour if he's

halfway between the equator and one of the poles. If he's standing exactly on

the north or south pole, then he's not moving in a circle at all, he's just twisting

around the point between his feet, once a day.

. The earth orbits the sun at about 108,000 Kilometers per hour (67,000 miles per hour) or 30 kilometers per second. At that speed one could travel to the moon in four hours.

60,000 miles per hour which multiplied by 1.5 kilometers in a mile comes to 90,000 kilometers per hour.

The Earth's speed in its orbit around the Sun varies based on where in the orbit Earth is, but it averages about 66,000 miles per hour.

About 30 kilometers per second. You can multiply that by 3600 if you want to have it in km/hour.
