Original Note:
Rotation is not measured in miles per hour; it is measured primarily in rpm. In the case of Earth, due to its size, we measure in degrees per hour. Earth's rotational speed is 0.000694, or 15 degrees per hour; the same speed as the hour hand of a clock. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.rmg.co.uk/file/2196/download%3Ftoken%3DOoiqoRhV%23:~:text%3DAnswer%253A%2520The%2520Earth%2520rotates%2520through,it%2520would%2520take%25202%2520hours.%26text%3DWe%2520use%2520a%2520system%2520of,of%2520the%2520Equator%2520we%2520are.&ved=2ahUKEwjA2eTsyoqCAxWOTUEAHXRIDi4QFnoECA0QBg&usg=AOvVaw2Wdl1eMDACEDMGB3PTquGu
