Answer 1

Hey, I'm not a passenger. I'm crew.

Rotation

Revolution

Solar system revolution around the galactic core

Galaxy's motion toward Virgo supercluster

And one other

Answer 2

I agree with zerowatt but i also think we wobble a bit around the pole do we not.it's like a roller coaster ride thinking about it.

so if we all stopped and hit the ceiling would we have un-motion sickness?

Answer 3

Relative to the universe, you are actually moving close to 45,000 mph.

you are affected by:

1. continental drift

2. the earth is rotating on its axis

3. the earth is rotating around the sun

4. the solar system is moving around the galaxy

5. the milky way galaxy is moving around the universe.

6. the universe is expanding, and we are expanding with it.

we don't feel this because we always talk about our motion, like in a car, relative to the road, or relative to our destination, never relative to the rest of the universe.

Answer 4

You are:

- Spinning with the earth as it rotates

- Orbiting the sun with the earth

- Orbiting the galactic center

- The galaxy is moving in a local cluster

- The whole Universe is expanding and we are expanding with it.

You do not feel any of it because everything around you is moving with you in exactly the same way..
