1037.5833333333... miles per hour. at the rquator, less as you go North or South.
earth's equatorial circumference is 24,902 miles. therefore it takes 24 hours to make one complete revolution The minor effect of centripetal force, is unfelt, but absent the rotational velocity we would all die, A) from burning on the sunward side, or freezing on the night side, and B) even at the terminator (the line dividing day from night, with tolerable temperatures, the lack of rotation means lack of moving air masses, ocean currents, resultant tidal forces would produce extremes.

A matter of rotation

We all know the earth is spinning, but how fast?
And we dont get throwen off because of gravity, so shouldnt we all be being stretched with gravity pulling down and syntrifical force throwing us off?
Would gravity be a lot stronger if there was no rotation?
