Because the Earth is travelling at a constant speed. i.e. it is not accelerating. Another example of this can be found in the car. When the car is accelerating, we can feel ourselves being pushed into our seats, but when we are travelling on a motorway at the same speed, we do not get this feeling.

Why does you not feel earth revolution?

That's related to the fact that there is no such thing as "absolute movement". Read about the "principle of relativity" for more details (for example, on the Wikipedia). Basically, there is no experiment that can determine whether you are moving or not. You can feel sudden changes in movement (i.e., acceleration), but the changes in the Earth's movement aren't sudden at all. Comments: Yes, but the rotation of the Earth is an acceleration, as defined in physics. The reason that you don't feel the Earth's rotation is that the "centrifugal effect" produced by the Earth's rotation is small compared with the force you feel from the Earth's gravity (your weight).

it is because the earth do not accelerates. It moves at a constant speed.so we don't have any feeling of its rotation/movement.


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.
