The distance to the sun is 150 million km. So the circumference is 940 million km. The earth takes a year to do it, or 31.6 million seconds. Therefore the average speed is 29.8 km/sec or 107200 km/hour or 66600 miles/hour.

velocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour)
So the Earth moves at about 100,000 km/h around the Sun.
