We do not feel the sun's gravity because Earth orbits the sun and so is essentially in freefall. Objects in freefall seem weightless from a viewpoint that is freefalling with them. We, of course, do not feel weightless because of Earth's gravity, which is independent of the sun's gravity.

Just imagine you are on an airplane at 35000 feet. Unless the plane turns, you won't feel yourself moving. It is the same with the Earth. As long as the motion is continuous you won't notice that you are hurtling through space at a billion miles per hour.

We don't feel the enormous atmospheric pressure acting on us because the pressure inside our bodies and the pressure of atmosphere, are the same and so it is balanced.

Because we are going along for the ride at the same speed as the earth turns.

Why dont you feel or see the movement of the earth?

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


When earth rotates why don't we feel the rotation of the earth?

Because we are moving along with the earth, and there is no relative motion between the earth and us. If we are seated on a train and watching the scenery go by, we don't "feel" the motion of the train as it sails down the track at freeway speeds (the jostling of the train aside). Same thing. It's a "frame of reference" thing from physics 101.


Why cant you feel earth rotate?

The air around us rotates with the Earth and we also rotate with the Earth at the same rate. There is literally nothing to feel.

Can you feel Earth's movement?

A property of matter called 'conservation of momentum'. Set spinning by chance accumulation of material, the spin will continue. "An object will continue in its state of motion or at rest, until an opposing force acts on it" -- Newton's laws. The gravity drag of the moon does slow the Earth slightly.


Why don't you feel the earth rotating?

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.

Why you dont feel earth rotation?

You don't feel ANY motion until it changes ! Think about it ... in an airplane, when you're having a drink or taking a nap, do you feel like you're streaking over the ground at 500 or 600 miles per hour ? Even in a car, cruising along on the Interstate ... at speeds faster than any human being ever moved until less than a hundred years ago ... it's easy to read a magazine, or drift off until it's your turn to drive. You're not only rotating with the earth. You're also riding the earth on a 1-year path around the sun. At the same time, the sun is riding a million-year path around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, dragging the earth and all of us along with it. And we don't feel a thing. What you do feel is the forces that push or pull on you to change the speed or the direction of your motion ... the pressure of the car seat on your back when you speed up, and the pressure of the seat belt on your front when you slow down. If the speed or direction aren't changing, there are no forces on you, and you don't feel anything. Here's the punchline: You DO feel an effect of the earth's rotation. Not forward or backward, because your speed doesn't change; it's always (once around) per (24 hours). But the direction keeps changing, in order to keep the motion in a circle, so that you stay on the earth's surface and don't go flying off. The force that keeps bending your motion into a circle is directed down toward the center of the earth. It's very familiar to you. It's the force you call your "weight".
