At about 1,000 miles per hour at the equator or 1700 miles per hour at the poles (as the circumference of poles is much less).

the main considerable evidence of a heliocentric (solar based) photograph voltaic gadget, is the 'retrograde' action of mars, its pecuiliar flow for the duration of th evening sky is in basic terms accessible if it orbits the solar the comparable as Earth does yet somewhat slower. The rules of conservation of angular momentum anticipate that The Earth ought to rotate to maintain its orbit around the The solar, if it did no longer we would be pulled into The solar via its gravity. alongside with this the development of evening and day propose The Earth spins on its axis.

Do the math. Earth rotates once in 24 hours and is about 24,000 miles around the equator, so it goes about 1,000 miles per hour, at the equator.

Well it rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours....so in 1 hour it rotates 15 degrees.
