When you step outside to look at the stars, doesn't it seem as though the Earth is standing still? It's not! In fact, the Earth never rests, it's always in motion.
The gravitational pull between the Earth and Sun causes the Earth to travel around, or "orbit", the Sun at a velocity of 29.8 km/sec. At the same time, the Earth also turns on its axis causing the daily cycle of day and night. This "rotational velocity" is approximately .47 km/sec.
That means that at the same time we're hurdling through space at nearly 67,000 mph, we're also spinning around in circles at over 1000 mph! Whew! Almost makes you dizzy, doesn't it?

141,300,000 km Earth's orbital velocity. But total, then you would have to calculate the orbital, in relation to the solar system, in relation to the Milky way's velocity.

Max. orbital speed 30.287 km/s
(109,033 km/h)
Average orbital speed 29.783 km/s
(107,218 km/h)
Min. orbital speed 29.291 km/s
(105,448 km/h)
The Earth's diameter is 7,926 miles and thus the circumference is
24900.26 miles.
25900.26 miles/day / 24 hours/day = 1037.5 miles/hour
