You can easily compute the Earth's angular speed by considering that the Earth makes little less than one complete round on itself in a day.
That "little less" accounts for the fact that, taking the Sun as reference, since in a year the Earth also makes a revolution around the Sun, that revolution adds up 1 day that shall not be counted.
Therefore, the Eart's angular speed is 1-1/365 rounds/day.
Which is, in International Units: 1.154 x 10^(-5) rad/s.

The angular speed of the Earth's rotation on its axis 6400Kmph.
The angle at which Earth rotates on it's axis is 28.3d

24 hours and 25,000 miles. About 1000 miles per hour, but that's just the speed of the earth's rotation. If you add the speed that we're traveling around the sun, you'll get around 67,000 miles per hour.
