Default Turkish eclipse

Dr John Stockton typed:

AIUI, the Moon's orbital speed is around 2000 mph - I suppose that's
the rate, more or less, at which New Moon crosses the country?


+- small adjustment for earths rotational speed ? I'm no astronomer or
mathematician so correct me if I'm wrong.

+- a tiny adjustment for sun's apparent motion ?
