Answer:

Earth is fairly quicker than all the others, as they are so much larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth, our home planet of Earth speeds around the sun at a rate of 29.78 km/s. This means that we are traveling at 66,615 miles per hour. Mars, with an orbital speed of 24.077 km/s, or 53,858 miles per hour, travels considerably faster than the prior planets.

Glad I could help!!
