Earth rotates every 24 hours at an angle of 360 degrees. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. If you would see the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.

The earth takes 24 hours to rotate. The circumference is 360.. There are 60 minutes in a degree when multiplied it is 21600 minutes. A minute is equivalent to a nautical mile. 21600 divided by24 =900 Therefore the earth spins at 900 Knots. 33nautical miles =38 land miles therefore the spin is 1036.36 MPH at the equator and ZERO at the poles

OFCOURCE it will be real THT MOON ROTATES WIT same AS U informed besides the undeniable fact that it's not necessary 4 ALL if earth rotates with the speed thst of the revolution p.c. then it is going to fly off from its orbit u were given it,ok would for moon & mercury it stables there r some formulae to calculate the speed & the rigidity of appeal of the daylight in route of the earth(centrifugal rigidity)ok i imagine u understood ok bye

Since one earth day is 23 hours 56 minutes (relative to the stars), so the speed of the rotation is about 15 deg 2.5 min of arc per hour.

It takes about 23.92 hours, meaning that at the equator the earth's surface at sea level is rotating at about 1675 km/h or 1041 mph.

It looks like the question asks for speed, not time. It revolves at 1,041 miles an hour at the equator and slows as you move closer to the poles. It's logical that it would not move at a uniform speed everywhere on the planet.

Sidereal rotation period 0.997 258 d (23.934 h)
Rotational velocity
(at the equator) 465.11 m/s

Approximately 24,900 mph. From which we get our 24 hours in a day.

1037 mph its the circumference divided by time (24 hours)
