  1. We dont notice the revoloution around the sun because the earth is going at a near to constant speed, like somebody else said if it stoped suddenly you'd notice, Like in a car.

    You dont notice the out ward acceleration from the revolution around the sun because the orbit is so large and the earths gravity is much larger, holding us down.

    This is the same with the earths revolution around its own axes, we dont feel the outward acceleration caused by revolving because the earths gravity is stonger. We dont feel it because it is rotating at a relatively constant velocity also.


  2. if you talk about th bible we are feeling it .but not as badly as we will feel it later

  3. we're accustomed to the momentum. You would feel it if it stopped all of a sudden.

  4. Because we are so small in comparison the the size of the earth that from our perspective its stationary.  Which is why people used to think that the planets and stars revolved around the earth.
