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.
The Earth's rotation causes day and night while its orbit around the sun creates seasons. These motions influence the distribution of sunlight, temperatures, and weather patterns on Earth, which in turn affect ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities. Additionally, the Earth's tilt and orbit shape the length of days and years, impacting our daily routines and calendars.
The continents move on the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. This layer consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The movement of the continents is known as plate tectonics.
The idea that continents move slowly across Earth's surface is called plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into plates that move and interact with each other, leading to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Atmospheric pressure decreases as you move away from the surface of the Earth. This is because the weight of the air above you decreases with higher altitudes, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
The clouds appear to move across the sky because of the Earth's rotation.
I Feel the Earth Move was created in 1971-04.
I Feel the Earth Move - album - was created in 1998.
you would only feel the earth move if it shook which only occurs if there happens to be an earthquake. Ask Carole King. She wrote a song about it called, I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet.
Actually you do move. You can't feel it but you do. :-:-:the MC
We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.
because they thought they could feel the earth move !
Because you can't feel the Earth move.
This is momentum; everything on the Earth is moving with it - including you, so we don't feel the movement. To think of an analogy, when you are travelling in a car on a smooth road, if you close your eyes you can't feel the car move.
I think it's because the earth going round, too fast......

You can if you happen to be on the site of an earth quake! (But do you actually feel your fingernails growing? It's about the same rate.)
I would like you to make little experiment.Go outside on a nice dayLay on the grass and close your eyesDoes the earth move?That is what people before Newton knew. What they could feel.If you can not feel it move it can not be moving.There are still people that believe this, uneducated or superstitious. perhaps, but they know what they feel.
