when the earth is moving why do we not feel the motion?

Answer 1

If everything in the same place is moving at the same speed, you will not sense that anything is moving relative to relative to each other. Example, when you are in the plane, everyone is in the same seat even though everyone is moving very fast.

But more importantly, if the speed is constant, that means no acceleration, then you will not sense speed, even though it may be very fast.

The Earth moves around the Sun at a velocity of about 107,300 km/h or 67,062 miles per hour.

However, if the Earth suddenly stopped, everyone will fly off or be embedded in the ground.

Answer 2

When you are standing or sitting in a bus and it is moving at a constant speed, you may feel the bumps on the road, but you don't feel the motion.
Exactly the same is the case with people who are standing on the surface of the earth. You don't feel the motion, because the earth is moving at a constant speed and there are no bumps on the road either.

Answer 3

It is simply because everything around us is moving due to the rotation of earth. it is not just humans who r rotating and since nothing is stationary, there is no point which can be taken as a reference to detect motion. Morever, when we see sunrise or setting it is the earth which is rotating and giving us an illusion of movement of sun from east to west. It is actually the earth which is rotating from west to east. When we move in train, the trees seem to fly backwards. this is just the case for earth too.

Answer 4

Taking in to consideration your question, i will like to tell that this was what was specified by einstein in his theory of relativity. Now whenever you are in motion in the bus or train or car you would ofcouse feel the gust of air but take into consideration the motion of space shuttle in space. Although it moves at speed of 8km/sec or minute. Astronauts never feels its speed until they peep outside the shuttle. Cause speed is relative term and it depends on the position of the observer. Now even if earth is rotating we are placed on it, so their is no refrence which we can consider to feel that we are moving, and as such this thick atmophere shields us. So its impossbile to feel the moving of earth.

Answer 5

What makes u feel of motion?

- Seeing moving things? like the sun and moon
-Feel of air striking your face? but the air is moving with us due to gravity.
-Feel of any dumbs or vibrations of motion? but we are properly stuck to the earth by gravity

It is like riding a well designed closed train with a compfortable chair and seeing trees moving at the outside.

Answer 6

The gravitational force on you and the moving bodies of earth are same. Example...while you travel in a speeding train, try to jump in side the train. You will land on the same place, but the train still moves. Because the gravitational force on the train and you is same.

Answer 7

because we move with it at the same speed. just like when you are in an airplane or a car, and it's going steady, but fast, you don't feel the motion.

Answer 8

Because the motion is uniform. Any change in our speed around the sun would be felt by everyone.

Answer 9

When you fly in an aeroplane high above the clouds , though your palne travels at a very high speed of 600 to 800 miles per hour , you do not feel that you are movng .You fel as though your plane is still and is supended above the clounds. the reason is that ou do not feel any jolt and most importantly you do not have any points of referece to indicate or observe that you are in motion. moting can be felt only in relation to some otehr object tha tis stationary. if the object of reference is also moving along the direction of your motion , you won't feel teh motion and you will feel you are not moving at all , if that object also move at the same speed in teh direction of your motion,On the other hand if tha object moves in the opposite direction or moves slower or faster than the plane you are travelling in , you will fel the motion of your plane either very fast or or going back or going forward as the case may be. So you need a point of reference to feel the motion of any object . Becasue everything on earth, including teh atmosphere moves along withthe earth because of the gravity , you have no point of reference to feel the moverment of the earth though it is spinning on its axis at a tremendous speed of about 1106 miles per hour . But while you move i a car on the surface of the earth you feel the movement of he air in the opposit direction of your movement . the reason is tha in atmospher wher everythig is in the same rae of movement ,your ca is in a different speed withinn tha atmosphere in which all othere objects are moving at a different rate of speed are actually at rest in relation to all oter objects moving with them exclusively on account of the forces of gravity alone . The car you are travelling in moves with a speed in additon to the rate of movementof the earth. The speed differs from the speed of movement of the otehr objects around . so you feel the movement of ht eair and other objecs when you ride a movong car on the surface of the earth.
So it is because all the objects , including the air are acted upon by grvit and move along the surface of the earth with the same speed as the earth moves , they are all in motion at the same speed realtively , none of them seem to move one from another.
even when we move away from a fixed object on the surface of he earth , we are really movong in two directions or withtwo speed ViZ (1) withthe speed of the rotation of heearth and (2) the speed of our movement our personal or indepencent movement . because the object fixed tothe earth has one moting , say "X' and we have another motion added to it say "y" (that is "x"+"y".) we feel the diffence in the motion.

Answer 10

if u go at extremely high speed also u dont feel the motion as it is so smooth!
u can't hear sounds of high frequency because its not that its too low too hear but its beyond our range.
