Step-by-step explanation:
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,070 kilometers, and the day is 24 hours long so the speed is 1670 kilometers/hour ( 1037 miles/hr). This decreases by the cosine of your latitude so that at a latitude of 45 degrees, cos(45) = . 707 and the speed is . 707 x 1670 = 1180 kilometers/hr.
