Assuming the earth follows a circular orbit (which we know it does not), then we can calculate the distance traveled using the circumference for a circle:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = diameter*pi
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 2*90 000 000 * pi
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 180 000 000 * pi
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "daily distance traveled
\n" ); document.write( "180 000 000*pi/365
\n" ); document.write( "which is about
\n" ); document.write( "1 549 278.57 miles per day
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "hourly distance traveled
\n" ); document.write( "1 549 278.57/24
\n" ); document.write( "which is about
\n" ); document.write( "64 553.2737 miles per hr
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
