The return of a star in 23 hour 56 minutes has no intrinsic value,it
can't tell you anything of the rotational speed at your

latitudinal details,I will find out how fast your location will travel
through the circle of illumination or through an entire 360 degrees
using the equatorial speed of 1037.5 miles per hour as a benchmark.


The speed (as a function al latitude) is of little concern to me.
At all latitudes the earth rotates 360° in one sidereal day, easily
observed anywhere on the earth.
