At the equator, it is turning at a little more than 1000 miles per hour. There are 24 time zones, and the equator is about 25,000 miles in length. So each time zone is a little more than 1000 miles wide at the equator.
it rotates towards the east. So if you were looking down from space directly above the north pole it would rotate anticlockwise.If you look from above the equator (like looking at an atlas or map of the world) then it rotates towards the right.
The Earth spins at the rate of one rotation every 23hours 56minutes 4seconds. (rounded)
An easier way to remember it is: Roughly once per day.
-- The linear speed of an object on the surface at the equator is about 1,035 miles per hour,
from west to east.
-- It's about 850 miles per hour in the middle of the continental USA, 440 miles per hour
in central Alaska, and zero at the north or south poles.
the world spins slow that is why you can't fell it moving
ask anyone who is depressed or over the age of twenty five & he or she will tell you that years are fast & days are slow. i have no idea whether this answers yr question. it's a more clever question than most I've seen on wikianswers--meaning: one that may have an actual, interesting response that would take more than four seconds to look up on wikipeda. i am unclear, tho, whether or not you were asking something which bordered on the metaphysical so i consulted this, one of my grand areas of expertise, to answer you.
The following are approximate numbers:
-- 1 revolution per day
-- 0.262 radians per hour
-- 1/4 degree per minute
-- 1,000 miles per hour for a point on the equator
The linear speed of a point on the equator is about 1,037 miles per hour. As the earth's radius
tapers down from the equator toward the poles, a point has a shorter distance to rotate and the
speed decreases, until it's zero at the poles.
Greenland is a big place, spanning a range of almost 24 degrees of latitude. The rotation speeds
differ widely, depending on exactly which place you're interested in.
At Nanortalik, near the southern tip, latitude 60.2° north, the speed is about 516 mph.
At Godthab, the capitol, latitude 64.2° north , it's about 452 mph.
At Thule, high on the west coast, latitude 77.5° north , it's about 224 mph.
And at the northernmost point on the north coast, latitude 83.6° north, it's about 114 mph.
Looking down from above the North Pole, the Earth rotates counter-clockwise; right-to left. From our perspective on the Earth, we're going east about about 900 miles per hour (depending on our latitude.)
There are many different motions of the Earth; assuming you're talking specifically about rotation rather than orbit around the sun or the galactic center or whatever, then you make one full rotation every 23 hours and 56 minutes. In order to figure out how fast that is in miles per hour, you'd need to specify a latitude: it's about 1000 mph near the equator and essentially zero at the poles.
Clockwise, are the exact center of my head.
Towards the East, one rotation every 23h56m.
In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at about 30 km/sec.
they spin and move fast

Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
hello
Saturn spins faster then earth
There is no such bowling style as 'fast in spin' or 'fast out spin in'.
There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.
Earth spins so fast,you don't feel it
it means how fast the earth spins once and how much it takes to spin around the sun
In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at about 30 km/sec.
That depends on where on Earth you are standing. At the poles, the Earth hardly spins at all, but as you travel towards the equator, the rotational speed picks up
