the rotational speed of the earth at the equator is about 1,038 miles per hour. the atmosphere at the equator is also slightly thicker due to rotation, and you weigh slightly less. @ mid-latitudes, the speed of the earth's rotation decreases to 700 to 900 miles per hour.
An object at one of the poles has hardly any speed due to the Earth's rotation

the speed is 1670 kilometer/ hour or 1070 miles/ hour
the earth interaction w/ the moon can decrease the speed by 2 miliseconds/ century

Well, given the Earth's circumference as 24,887 Miles and one complete revolution in 24 Hours,
24,887 miles
----------------
24 hours
= about 1000 miles per hour.

circumference of earth is about 24900 miles and the length of a day is about 23.93 hours.
24900 mi / 23.933 hrs = 1040.5 mph
