The circumference of the earth is roughly 24,000 miles and rotates 360
degrees in 24 hours. Therefore, your tangential speed at the equator
is 1000 mph.

But the distance to the center is constant, and speed is dx/dt so it's 0 :-)

A point at the center of the earth.

That would be at the equator, BTW.

The relative speed of the surface of the earth is 1000 mph. That's
