the reason is that gravity is putting so much momentum on your body and other objects that while the earth is spinning so fast we are allowed to stay at one place without things moving out of control otherwise stationary. If the earth were to suddenly stop we would also stop with it and move about 3000 feet towards the way the stopped and land there unless stopped by another force like a wall. its the same propert as when you throw a tennis ball in a car why doesnt the tennis ball get left behind. Because it is in momentum. the reason is that gravity is putting so much momentum on your body and other objects that while the earth is spinning so fast we are allowed to stay at one place without things moving out of control otherwise stationary.

Why does a bicycle keep on running even after stop pedalling?

Because of something called inertia. Things that are moving likes to keep moving, and things that aren't moving likes to stay put. For anything to change from moving to stationary, or stationary to moving, there has to be an outside force acting on them.


As you drive down the road in a car why objects inside the car appearto be stationary when compared to the objects outside of the car?

When you are driving, the objects inside the car are moving at the same speed and direction as the car, so they appear stationary relative to you. On the other hand, the objects outside the car are stationary or moving at varying speeds, which creates a visual contrast making them seem like they are moving relative to you.

Why does a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest?

Your brain is used to perceiving motion relative to stationary objects, such as the buildings and landscape passing by. When sitting in a stationary train, it can create the illusion that the train is moving if you observe things outside the window passing by. This phenomenon is known as "relative motion."

Answer #1:A reference point should be stationary from the point of view of the observer.===============================Answer #2:As soon as you said a "moving car", you showed us that you already have areference point, and that the car is moving relative to it. If you want to usethe car as a reference point, fine and dandy. Then the car is not moving.The pavement on the road, the trees, and the people on the curb may ormay not be moving, but the car isn't. You can't say that the car is movingAND also say that it's your reference point.Everything in all of Creation is moving relative to other things. There's no suchthing as really moving or really stationary.
