Earth is roughly 93,000,000 miles from the sun, so the circumference of our orbit can be given by C= 2 X pi X 93,000,000 and we take exactly one year to go all the way around. If you figure out how many hours are in a year (24 X 365) you can have your answer quite easily.

The earth spin is aprox 1000 miles per hour. The orbit velocity relative to the Sun is 18.45 miles per seconds.The velocity of the earh's relative to the Milky Way center is 217km/sec + 29.6 km/sec= a relative velocity of 246.6km/seconds.=153.23 miles per seconds.

The earth is roughly 24,000 miles around the equator, and turns once every 24 hours, so at the equator it is turning at 1,000 miles per hour.
