About 25,000 miles. So that means the earth is rotating at a little over 1000 miles an hour at the equator. This causes the "equatorial bulge" - the Earth is "fatter" at the equator. This makes you weigh a little bit less, for two reasons: the centrifugal force of rotation, and the fact that you are farther from the Earth's center than you would be at the poles.

it is also 21,600 nautical miles, as a nautical mile is a minute of longitude at the equator, so 60 minutes in a degree times 360 degrees in a circle = 21,600
Proof: a nautical mile is 1.15 statute miles. 21,600 x 1.15 = 24840...
Which explains the difference between statute and nautical miles, by the way.
