I think it spins at least 1000 MPH. Cause no one can keep up with it, not even a supersonic jet!

The speed at which the earth spins varies upon your latitudinal location on the planet. If you're standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

The earth spins on its rotational axis at 0.47 Kilometres per second that equates to 1000 miles per hour. Its orbital speed around the sun is a staggering 29.8 Kilometres per second or 67,000 miles per hour....whew....try the following web site for a good explanation of these unbelievable numbers....very interesting and informative....good hunting.... :-)...
