Name the bodies in the solar system where a running human could keep up with the Sun on the body's equator.

Question:

At the Earth's equator a person would have to run 1,037 miles/hour to keep up with the Sun. Obviously impossible

Answer:
Mercury has an equatorial rotational velocity of 10.8Km/h so Mercury is a candidate.

Venus' is 6.53Km/h so lets include that.

Uranus rotates almost perpendicularly to the Sun so technically its not to hard to stay ahead of the sun.

i'm going to say Pluto because it's the fartest. but i'm not sure.

I am going to say Venus because it is the slowest rotating planet on the earth.. not sure though

bodies in the solar system.I would say an asteroid - they are small enough that you could probably do a swift walk or slower to keep up

I did some rough calculations.if a human could sustain a run of approximately 10 km/hr , they could keep up with the Sun if they were on the moon.
