At the equator, the Earth's surface moves 40,000 kilometers in 24 hours. That is a speed of about 1040 miles/hr (1670 km/hr or 0.5 km/sec). This is calculated by dividing the circumference of the Earth at the equator (about 24,900 miles or 40,070 km) by the number of hours in a day (24). As you move toward either pole, this speed decreases to almost zero (since the circumference of the spinning circle at the extreme latitudes approaches zero).
At a latitude of about 40 degrees north -- along which cities such as Philadelphia and Columbus, Ohio, lie -- the circumference of the Earth is about 30,600 kilometers (19,014 miles). When divided by 24 hours, this results in a rotational speed of 1,275 kilometers per hour (792 miles per hour).
