The Earth travels at about 66000 miles per hour around the sun, much faster than the speed of sound which is about 750 miles per hour.
Even as the Earth rotates, a point on the equator travels at a little over 1000 miles per hour so parts of the planet are faster than the speed of sound even without the orbit around the sun.
