We DO move along.

Of course everything on earth moves with the earths rotation. If you get onto a fast moving car, boat, plane, don't you move along with it? As the earth is a much larger object and there is nothing motionless close by, you get the feeling that your'e not moving, because you have nothing to use as a guide. Unlike driving a car and watching the scenery go by. Which is still rotating. Imagine this, when on a plane which is flying at 400knots, if you walk from the back of the plane to the front you would have been travelling at 400knots plus your walking speed. Faster than a plane! WOW.

yes we do more along. However, as the size of the eart is way too large, and given that the earth revolves around the sun very slowly in it's orbit, we hardly feel it. Plus we are held down by the force of gravity, so we are basically rooted to the grounnd.

of course we move along with it but do not feel it because of the gravitational force which is larger than the centrifugal force of the earth's rotation. if it would not have been there, we would have gone flying out into outer space. the atmosphere also moves along so there is no force on the structures, thus they remain stable

What we see as moving is relative velocity w.r.t the observer. Since trees, humans, animals we all move on same velocity along the earth, the relative velocity is zero, therefore it appears as if we are not moving.

Intertia. We only notice movement when we accelerate (that force is the same as gravity, Einstein proved this with relativity). Since we are already in motion, we stay in motion (Newton's Law) and are unaffected by the earth's motion. If the earth suddenly stopped, we would be thrown off.

The movement is not noticeable. The size of the Earth and the size of people or animals or trees greatly contrast. Thus, its complicated for you to feel it's rotation.

They also move. But, the seer i.e. you as well as the trees etc are all moving with the Earth, at the same pace and therefore you do not notice their movement.

The do move along. sometimes they will go they will go the other way. That's why they are particularly animals.

We are in motion but according to the outer space not from inside. It like u r in a moving train if u r inside it doesn't mean u also move with the train but for the viewer of outside, u r moving

We and other objects are also moving along with earth just like we move along with our luggage while travelling in air or train.
