Measured in km/hour, the velocity at the Equator is about 40 000km per 24 hours. [you do the math.] At the poles, the velocity in km/hr approaches zero. But at all positions, it rotatesonce per day.

The Earth spins fastest at the equator, where the rotational speed is approximately 1670 kilometers per hour (1040 miles per hour). This is due to the bulging effect of the Earth's rotation, which causes it to spin more rapidly at its widest point.
