Best Answer

The earth will have both rotational and circular motions.

Rotational motion because of the earth rotating about its own axis(axis joining the line north and south poles).

Circular motion because of moving around the sun.

Why do you not feel motions of the planet?

Because of Newton's First Law, you would only feel anything if a force acted upon you - because you are already accelerated to the rotational (and, orbital) speed of Earth, the only motion you might notice is a change in those speeds. Because of the considerable mass of the Earth, the effects changing its motions are unimaginably small (for example, rotational slowing through lunar tidal force), and far smaller than limits of human sensitivity.

Can you consider earth as having a uniform velocity?

No. Earth's rotational velocity is slowing. Do you mean the velocity of Earth's revolution around the sun? The earth speeds up in its orbit until it reaches perihelion, and then slows until it reaches aphelion.

Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?

Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.


Is the earth rotational axis of 180 degrees the as 23.5 degrees?

Earth's rotational axis has an inclination of 23.5 degrees. The angle is measured from a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation (the Ecliptic).
