To summarize...

Earth is,

spinning (at the Equator) ~ 1,037 mph

orbiting the Sun ~ 67,000 mph, or ~ 18.6 miles/sec

Solar System orbiting the center of our Milky Way galaxy ~ 448,000 mph, or ~ 125 miles/sec

1,037 mph (at the Equator)

67,000 mph, or ~ 18.6 miles/sec

448,000 mph, or ~ 125 miles/sec

What’s the difference between a volkswagen?

[Army Air Corps]

Faster than a Yugo.

Proving once again, speed does not kill.

Monty Python told us this years ago!

Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.

And that friends is another reason why AGW is BS.

The Heliocentric model

I’m dizzy now.

[KarlInOhio]

Another piece of evidence for the sun-centered solar system comes from looking at parallax, or apparent change in the position of the stars with respect to each other.

Interestingly, the ancients considered this as proof of the Earth centered universe. The parallax shift can only be seen with a telescope. Since they couldn't see the parallax the Earth must be at the center.

Really really...as in really really fast.

[umgud]

So if I fly in the opposite direction at 1,037mph, will time stand still for me? How about if I go faster?

[Leep]

If we are not careful Guam could fly off the globe and soar out into space?

Monty Python says it best.

All motion is relative, since there is no absolute reference frame.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Zero.

[gbaker]

This doesn’t seem to match the flat earth theory.

[Phlap]

67,000 mph. Give or take. lol

[Red Badger]

That is why ‘Time Travel’ is impractical.

Even if you perfected a Time Machine, just going back ONE SECOND in TIME would leave you stranded in the middle of a very cold dead space.......................

I thought the ballpark, relative to some sort of “background”, is an average of 1.3 million MPH.

Average, because the various speed components may be additive or subtractive, depending on their direction at the moment.
