Why the earth's rotation is not visible for us as the earth is rotating at a very high speed?

The earth is indeed spinning quite fast, at the equator you would effectively travel the distance of the earths circumference in 24 hours. We don't really feel it though as there is no change in speed, the speed is constant. We only really feel the effects of acceleration or deceleration. We don't feel much of a centripetal force either as the gravitational pull of the earth overwhelms this - but careful measurements will show that you are very slightly heavier at the poles when compared with the equator, because the effects of the earths spin.
