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 dont you feel or see the movement of the earth?

because of the earths gravity and constant attraction between sun and earth.


What if the earth stopped rotating?

we'd all die because we would feel earth stop rotating . because we can only feel acceleration and stopping


Do astronauts feel the moon rotating?

No more than you feel the Earth rotating. In fact, it takes the Moon about 27 times as long to rotate as the Earth takes.


Why do some people feel it is inaccurate to say that the Sun rises and sets?

Because the Sun isn't moving around the Earth. The Earth is rotating on its axis.The apparent movement of the Sun across they sky is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This is also true of the apparent motion of the moon and stars.

Why can we not feel the earth's movement?

because the earth moves slowly and at the same speed as us


How does movement affect us?

We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.


If the earth spins at 1000mph and planes travel at 500mph how do they reach their destination?

We are moving 1000mph with the earth, but we just usually act as though we aren't moving at all, because we don't feel it. When we walk at 1 mph aside from the movement from the rotation of the earth, we still get places. Also, when we jump, we don't suddenly stop moving, while the earth keeps rotating. We continue to move with the earth's rotation, because of inertia, which holds our momentum, when there is nothing stopping our movement.


Why don't we feel earth movement?

You can't actually feel movement; you can only feel change in movement. Consider that when you are on a plane that is moving very fast you can feel it bumping and rocking from minor turbulence, but you do not feel any different due to the speed. Since Earth both orbits the sun and rotates at a constant speed, you feel no change. It is true, however, that you are constantly changing direction due to the rotation and orbit of Earth, but that change is slight and constant and its effects are completely overwhelmed, from our perception, by Earth's gravity.


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).


Why can't you feel the earth's rotation?

You can't feel the earth rotating because everything rotates with it. Compare it to sitting in a moving car and you are not looking out the window. As long as there are no bumps, you will never know the car is moving.
