Speed of the Sun

There is a thread (silly one, at that) on JB about whether the Earth is round or flat? That thread and a late day flight from SVO the other day got me to thinking. What is the formula for the speed of the sun as it transverses the Earth, or more accurately, how does one calculate the apparent motion of the sun accounting for higher latitudes and altitudes? I know the apparent motion is slower with both.
