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.

Do astronauts feel the moon rotating?

No, astronauts do not feel the moon rotating because it rotates at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, keeping one side always facing us. This means that the visible side of the moon remains relatively still from the perspective of someone on its surface.


Why don't we feel the earth moving and rotating despite its constant motion?

We don't feel the Earth moving and rotating because its motion is constant and we are moving along with it at the same speed. Our bodies have adapted to this motion over time, so we don't perceive it as movement.

Why don't you feel movement when the earth is rotating?

You do not feel the Earth's rotation because its speed is constant and your body is moving along with it. Since you and everything around you are rotating at the same rate, there is no relative motion to cause a feeling of movement. Additionally, the Earth's rotation is very gradual, completing one full rotation every 24 hours.


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.
