Because relative to us, the Earth isn't moving. We move along with it, and we have an atmosphere that does as well. It's like being in a moving car. You know that you're moving because it's a car, but (assuming you're on a relatively smooth road in a decent car), you don't feel like you and the car are moving unless you put your head out the window (and feel the wind resistance) or try to step out onto the ground. With nothing but passing objects outside to compare our movement to, it can be difficult to know whether we are moving, or they are.
