Well, we all know that the Sun doesn't move, rather the rotation of the Earth gives the appearance that the Sun "moves" across the sky.
At the Equator the Earth is 24,901.5 miles (statute) in circumference. Divided by 24 (hours per day) = 1037.6 mph.
The "circumference" of the Earth decreases along each line of latitude North and South of the Equator such that at 45 degrees North or South, the distance around the Earth on that parallel is 17,608 miles yielding an "apparent" speed of 733.7 mph.

If you needed to travel 1 mile in 30 minutes how fast would you go?
The minimum speed you need to go to travel 1 mile in 30 minutes is .5 miles per hour, or 44 feet per second. actually to travel one mile in 60 minutes (one mile per hour),you walk...well,one mile per hour.Therefore to walk the same distance in half the time,you have to double the speed,in this case,2 miles per hour.
How long does it take for a boat to travel 1 mile?
It depends on the speed of the boat you know miles per hour
How long would it take to travel one mile at a speed of 80 miles per hour?
1/80 hours
How fast do you have to go to travel 1 mile in 3 minutes?
The speed is 20 mph. 1 mile/3 minutes = 1/3 mile per minute (x 60 minutes/hour) = 20 miles/hour
What is your speed if you travel one mile in a second?
Answer: D = RT so if you travel at R = 50 mph in D = 1 mi 1 = 50*T T = 1/50 hour = 1.2 min * 60 = 72 mph Answer: The speed is one mile per second. This is the same as 3600 miles per hour.
