It depends on your frame of reference.

The earth travels around the sun.

The sun travels around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy and takes the earth along with it. So the earth travels at the combined speed of those two motions.

But then, the Milky Way Galaxy rotates around the centre of our local cluster and takes the Sun and the earth along with it. So the earth travels at the combined speed of those three motions

Our local galactic cluster is not static, so ...

And so on.

Where do you stop and say this is the fixed point of reference against which I will measure the speed of the earth?

How many miles a travel in a day?

Assuming you mean an Earth Day and not a Venus day. Venus has an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s or 21.76 miles/s So there are 86,400 seconds in an Earth day. 21.76 x 86,400 gives the answer. ---------------------------------------------- For a Venus day. There are 20,996,928 seconds in a Venus day 21.76 x 20,996,928 gives the answer.
