I would say if you need to travel about 25000 miles per hour to escape the Earths gravity that is how fast the Earth spins! What I want to know is if your moving the same speed as the Earth and are in a geosynchronous orbit over the same spot what speed would be necessary to orbit at an extremely low altitude like say 1000 feet!

The speed at which the earth spins varies upon your latitudinal location on the planet. If you're standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

Approximately 1000 miles per hour at the equator, which is why rockets launched mostly go east to take advantage of the speed of rotation to assist in getting to orbital velocity.

The earth completes one full rotation every 24 hours. Go figure.

goes once a day around the sun, spins 365 times a day
