What is the distance around the Earth at the Equator?
The circumference of the Earth at the Equator is 24,901.45 miles. The Earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis at approximately 1,000 miles per hour, making one complete revolution each day. If you could fly westward at a speed greater than 1,000 miles per hour, you would outrace the rotation of the Earth (and time) and arrive at your destination before you left.
