Wrong. You don't spin in mph but in rpm. Tangental velocity differs with latitude.
Exactly, the linear speed of a point in a spinning sphere depends on how far you it is from the center. The Earth's rotational speed is 1 rotation/24h, or 11.57*10⁻6 rotation/s. At sea level (6400 km from the center), one rotation is a 40 000 km circle. That's a linear speed at sea level of 463 m/s or 1666 km/h (about 1000 mi/h). But at a different altitude, the linear speed will be different. Slower if you're closer to the center, and faster if you're further.
