  1. Because we're on it and were rotating along with it!


  2. The reason why we do not feel the effects, is... you only truly notice movement when it is a change in movement. Say you are at a stop light. It turns green and you accelerate to 60kph. You feel the acceleration of the car. But once you obtain a steady speed, you do not feel the effects, because a body in motion "wants" to stay in motion (Source, Newton). Now, if you take a sharp turn, your body wants to continue going foreward, and you feel that change in direction as "force" is applied to you.


  3. that situation shows that god is very intelligent and the main reason why the earth rotates but we dont fell it is that we are living in this place and we cannot feel

  4. The gravitational pull helps stabilize us on the surface, and the earth's atmosphere kind of cushions us too. Plus, since we're on earth from birth we just learn to balance ourselves as necessary, if it's even necessary.  Kind of like when you start skiing, surfing, etc.  at first you have little balance, but after a while you can automatically correct your positioning and balance yourself without much thought.  maybe it's like that for humans when they're first born, we just don't remember it.

  5. We have the same momentum that the Earth has - we're moving at the same speed.  The wind moves a little faster than the ground, driven by energy from the Sun.  But the Earth doesn't change it's speed so you'd notice.  And gravity holds you down much harder than the spinning centrifugal force pulls you away.

    The principal is called inertia.  But no one has the slightest idea why it works.


  6. because it is going on a friction less  road or as we say an orbit. when a car for an example travels at a same continous speed at a smooth road it is hard to notice that it is moving unless it slows down or accelerate, or takes a rough road , or looking outside the window. the rule goes the same to earth.

  7. This has to do with the theory of relativity.  The theory states that if you and another object are moving at exactly the same speed, it will appear as if it as not moving at all.  Since you and the planet are moving at the same speed, you don't feel or see it.

  8. Because of gravity, and that we move at 0 mph relative to the ground.
