It is because it moves to slowly for us to feel WRONG!!!! We are moving WITH the Earth. That's why we can't feel it. ANOTHER ANSWER The second response above is more accurate, but the first answer is not completely off. The Earth at any point on the equator in fact moves very fast - about 1000 miles per our! But we do not notice it for two (maybe more) reasons: -the force of gravity is greater than the centrifugal force. In fact - much greater, so it cancels it out. If, however the Earth spun faster, and rivaled the force of gravity, then that force would dominate over gravity and we would feel it. -the rotation of the Earth is constant, or consistent. Precisely constant. Constant enough that we can make incredibly accurate calendars and such. It will rotate at the same speed hundreds or thousands of years from now. If it was not constant, the change would be obvious. If the Earth suddenly stopped, do you think you would notice? It would be disastrous.
