If you were standing at the equator of the earth you would be moving in a circle (being dragged along by Earth's rotation) at just over 1000 miles per hour. Not only that but no matter where you are on earth, you're being hurled through space at over 66000 miles per hour because of the Earth's orbit around the sun.
