Here is the problem which I am struggling on, please help me!

Problem: What is the rotational kinetic energy of the earth due to its rotation about its own axis? Treat the earth as a uniform sphere. Moment of inertia, I, for a uniform solid sphere with axis of rotation through the center is (2/5)MR2.

Please use great detail in explaining the solution. Thanks.
