Earth is moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour.
Also speed of the turning of the Earth around itself if at equator is 1000 miles per hour.

Well as Eric Idle once sung in The Meaning Of Life ...
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned...
a sun that is the source of all our power
The sun, and you and me,
and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral-arm, at 40,000 miles an hour...
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

At the rate of 1 revolution per 365 1/4 days

Radius of orbit is 149.6 million kilometers, on average.
So circumference of orbit is 2*pi*r, about 940 million kilometers.
The Earth covers this in 365.25 days (roughly) which is 8'766 hours.
So the average speed is 107'228 km/h. Which is also 67'018 mph.
That's over 2.5x faster than any manned spacecraft ever went.

It takes 365.25 days for earth to complete one rotation about sun, which is roughly at a distance of 149 million km. You can use various available relations to calculate its tangential or angular velocity.

1 year for a full circle, average radius of the earth path is 150000000 Km, the path is 942000000 , that's 2580800 Km/day, 107500 Km/hour, 1790 Km/Min, 30Km/sec, all numbers are rounded

365 days a year. do the math

29.80 Km/sec
This is a good question and not just 365 days just do math.
