People believed the Earth was the center of the universe because .?
It feels that way. You can not feel the Earth moving.
Why don't you move when the earth is moving?
Actually you do move. You can't feel it but you do. :-:-:the MC
Why might ancient astronomers have been convinced that the sun and moon revolve around earth?
Because in the sky it looks as if the sun is moving, but actually, the earth is moving but you can't feel it.
Do clouds move or you feel because of earth?
I believe the clouds are actually moving due to wind.
Why are you not able to observe with your senses the Earths plates are moving?
The Earth plates are constantly moving, its movement is so slow that humans can not feel it. As well with the rotation of the Earth around the solar system, constant but not notable.
Why can't we feel that the earth moves?
as you know earth orbits around the sun. but very slowly. therefore we cannot feel the earth moving. but if you lie outside and look up in the sky and close your eyes you might feel the earth moving a little bit. Actually, you can experience the earth moving under your feet. Try to walk a straight line for some distance. Unless you are following a line on the ground, you will turn slightly to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and slightly to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the earth moving / spinning. This is called the Coriolis Effect. You see it every time you flush a toilet. The water spins clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why do you not feel the dizzying speed of the earth's rotation and its tremendously fast revolution?
because you are moving at the same speed - relatively, you are standing still. you are small, the earth is BIG.
Why don't we feel the earth move since it revolves around the sun?
This is momentum; everything on the Earth is moving with it - including you, so we don't feel the movement. To think of an analogy, when you are travelling in a car on a smooth road, if you close your eyes you can't feel the car move.
What is violent moving of the Earth?
The violent moving of the Earth is an Earthquake.
If the Earth is rotating why don't we get dizzy?
Our sense of balance comes from fluid in our ears. When you spin in a circle and come to a stop, inertia keeps the fluid in your ears spinning. This makes you feel dizzy. However, as the earth spins, the fluid in our ears is spinning at the same rate as our bodies. That is, it is moving relative to some non-moving point, but it is not moving relative to our bodies. That is why we don't get dizzy while spinning in a circle. Only after we come to a stop do we feel dizzy. That is the same reason we don't feel dizzy while the Earth rotates.
Why you do not feel the earth rotation?
We don't feel the Earth rotating, because we're rotating with it. If it stopped or sped up, we would certainly feel it. It's like riding in a car; when the car is going straight on a smooth road at the same speed, we don't feel it; only when we turn or slow down or speed up.
Why don't you feel the earth rotating?
One thing to cover first is how we perceive motion. We can see when we are moving relative to something else, but we cannot actually feel motion; we feel change in motion. Consider that when you are in a car you can feel when you speed up, slow down, or make a turn, but don't feel different when moving at a steady speed, save for bumps in the road and vibration from the engine. The same goes for Earth's rotation; we are moving quite fast, but at a constant speed. We do experience some acceleration from the rotation, but that acceleration is tiny, much less than what we experience from gravity.
