The earth is not in a perfect circular orbit, so the speed changes during its revolution around the sun. Here is some data from Wikipedia:
Avg. orbital speed: 29.783 km/s
(107,218 km/h)
Max. orbital speed: 30.287 km/s
(109,033 km/h)
Min. orbital speed: 29.291 km/s
(105,448 km/h)

The earth makes one rotation per day, or 1/1440 rpm. The orbit takes one year to complete, for an average rotational speed of 1/525906 rpm. The surface translational speed depends one whether you are on the equator or pole.

Can you please under stand from this. Earth is moving in elliptical path. It makes one circle per year around the sun. The area covered by the arc produced by the earth with the sun in a particular period is equal on all times. Therefore if the earth is far away from the sun the speed will be slow and when it comes nearer to sun the speed will be more. If you are not clear I can explain with the sketch. You can contact me for further details.
