If the Earth were 100 pixels wide
100 pixel earth = 13KM
1 pixel = 0.13KM
7K pixels/s = 910 KM/s
910 * 60 * 60 = 3.3 Million KM/h

The Earth is not 13 km in diameter. Maybe you meant 13 Mm, or roughly 13 000 km? The result is ~3 billion km/h then. I haven't timed it, but that seems to align with how long the animation took (around half of a minute).

I timed it, and it was about a minute, so right in line with the 7k pixels/s. That does translate to about 3 billion km/h, or about 250,000 mh/s².
