Check engine light comes on and off, heat went out, hard starts some mornings.?
The earth is approximately 24,860 miles around the equator. The relative speed at the equator is 1035 miles per hour. If you were at the northern or southern axis of the earth, the speed is zero. The farther north or south of the equator, the slower the rate of speed although the period of rotation is the same.How much am i looking to pay for my head gasket to be fixed?
1050 mphDoes anyone know what the prob. is with my car?
1037.6 mphwhy isnt my car radio working?
Its not measured in MPH, it is really measured in MPD (mile per day) !I need a spark plug for a six point nine diesel?
fast, so be sure to change oil often, and get it serviced every 5000 cycles2000 chevy blazer 4.3l problems?
I don't belive it's rated in MPH, more like surface feet per minute,and.....i don't know the answer.Can anyone tell me what rpm range to shift a 13 speed? I can up shift ok, but I can't downshift!?
Basic AnswerThe circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.
most common reason for a fuel leak in a car?
Multiply by cosine of your latitude to see how fast the Earth is rotating where you are.

Earth is also moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour.

Advanced Answer
93 lesabre wont shift till warmed up.?
If by "turning" you mean the rotation of the Earth about its axis (where axis just means the straight line between the North and South poles) it is quite easy to figure out how fast any part of the Earth's surface is moving.
Why is my rotor all scratched up?
The Earth rotates once in a few minutes under a day (23 hours 56 minutes 04. 09053 seconds). This is called the sidereal period (which means the period relative to stars). The sidereal period is not exactly equal to a day because by the time the Earth has rotated once, it has also moved a little in its orbit around the Sun, so it has to keep rotating for about another 4 minutes before the Sun seems to be back in the same place in the sky that it was in exactly a day before.
How do I change the transmission fluid on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
An object on the Earth's equator will travel once around the Earth's circumference (40,075.036 kilometers) each sidereal day. So if you divide that distance by the time taken, you will get the speed. An object at one of the poles has hardly any speed due to the Earth's rotation. (A spot on a rod one centimeter in circumference for example, stuck vertically in the ice exactly at a pole would have a speed of one centimeter per day!). The speed due to rotation at any other point on the Earth can be calculated by multiplying the speed at the equator by the cosine of the latitude of the point. (If you are not familiar with cosines, I wouldn't worry about that now, but if you can find a pocket calculator which has a cosine button you might like to try taking the cosine of your own latitude and multiplying that by the rotation speed at the equator to get your own current speed due to rotation!).
what is the easyest way to add horsepower but not spend a lot of money?
The Earth is doing a lot more than rotating, although that is certainly the motion we notice most, because day follows night as a result. We also orbit the Sun once a year. The circumference of the Earth's orbit is about 940 million kilometers, so if you divide that by the hours in a year you will get our orbital speed in kilometers per hour. We are also moving with the Sun around the center of our galaxy and moving with our galaxy as it drifts through intergalactic space!
