Why human beings is not rotating according to the earth rotation?

The rotation is simply too slow to be felt directly.
People cannot feel motion in a straight line at a constant speed, but we can feel accelerations.
Rotation involves a change of direction. That is an acceleration in scientific terms.
However, the change of direction is too gradual to feel.

∙ 14y agoEverything on this earth stays still because of gravity. We do move with the earth but because were always in the same spot ( unless we move as in: walk somewhere different) We don't notice we are moving because the land around us isnt.

∙ 11y agoWe're actually riding around on the spinning Earth, but because the atmosphere is ALSO spinning with the Earth, we aren't directly conscious of the movement. Standing at the equator, your speed standing still is pretty close to 1050 miles per hour. At the poles, you aren't moving at all. In between, we can calculate your velocity as a function of your latitude.
For example, I live near Sacramento, CA, USA. We're at about 38 degrees north latitude, and so our speed is about 750 MPH. Sure doesn't feel like it!

∙ 9y agowe are actually moving with the rotation of the planet but you don't notice it becasue of gravity.
Actually, the reason you don't notice Earth's rotation is because its rate of rotation is constant. We feel changes in velocity but not velocity itself. If you divide Earth's equatorial circumference by the 24 hours it takes to complete each rotation, you get about 1038 miles per hour or about 1670 km/h. Gravity keeps everything from flying off into space like someone on one of those small carousels in the park.
BTW, to get the approximate speed due to rotation of Earth's surface where you are, multiply the speed above by the cosine of your latitude.

∙ 11y agoThink about it. Everything DOES move, right along with the earth's surface. That is the reason that things, including our own bodies, can appear to be motionless. The earth is very large; the equator is close to 26,000 miles long. This means that at the equator the earth is rotating at a shade over 1000 miles per hour. The rotation is very uniform, although very slight changes we can't feel can and do occur. Even the atmosphere moves along with the earth pretty much, although it is 'fluid' enough to change in accordance with weather patterns. We don't slip and slide around, because the rotation rate is so stable. If the earth's rotation were speeding up or slowing down to any great degree, we would have a big problem.
It is very much like what happens in an automobile. When the driver is accelerating, you feel yourself pushing back into your seat. As soon as the car STOPS accelerating, you stop feeling the push against your back. When you are driving at a completely uniform speed-- you are not speeding up and you are not slowing down-- your back rests against the back of your seat in exactly the same way that it does when the car is at a complete stop. Don't believe that? It's true.

What effect does the earth rotating have?
idk if this is a question about the earth's rotation in itself, or if its about it's rotation around the sun. if it's around the sun, that's what gives us our four seasons. if its rotating within itself, it's what gives us night and day.
Is the moon rotating faster than earth?
No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
What motion of the earth causes day and night?
The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours. The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours.
Does the sun come up and set at the same speed?
Yes, the effect is due not to the Sun moving but to the Earth rotating and the speed of rotation of the Earth is constant.
Why conditions cause wind and rotating storms to form?
Well, the rotation of the earth does cause the wind pattern to change, if the earth stood still, the wind would be straight.
Is Earth rotating?
Yes. Earth's rotation is what gives us day and night.
What are the two main motions of the earth?
rotating and revolution
What does period of rotation mean?
Period of rotation is the time taken for an object to complete exactly one revolution around another object, like the earth rotating around the sun or the moon rotating around the earth.
Why do you not notice that the earth is rotating?
Gravity.Correction:The Earth's rotation has nothing to do with gravity and vice versa. One notices the earth's rotation in the rising and setting of the moon, sun, planets and stars.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

What is the effect in human beings if earth stop to rotate?
if the earth stop rotating the gravity will not be there and finally we can all fly

No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.
Can you see the earth rotating on its axis from space?
Of course. You may have to wait a while but the rotation would be obvious.
What motion of the earth causes day and night?
The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours. The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours.
Why don't you feel movement when the earth is rotating?
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.
Does earth take 24 hours to rotate?
The earth is rotating all the time, and takes roughly 24 hours for one complete rotation.
