Yes and thank you for having worked it out.At the equator ... the speed at any latitude is 1,037 mph multiplied by the cosine of latitude ... thus in my example 1037 mph (cos 45º) = 1037 mph x 0.717 = 733 mph ...
The cosine of 90º is zero ... we don't move through space at the poles ... stationary in place but we are rotating ...
