water people garvity earth?

Question

okay so if the earth has enough gravity to hold oceans to the earth how can we walk?

and can someone relate this to the turning of earth? how fast does earth spin and how can we still walk in it. thanks guys

Answer 1

Because the amount of gravity required to prevent large pools of water from floating away is much less than the amount of gravity it would take to flatten you to the ground like a pancake.

Answer 2

perhaps you are thinking about the force of gravity act on the ocean is equal to the force that act on us

it's all depends on mass.

the more mass, the harder gravity has to pull in order to keep it on the planet.

we don't have much mass, so gravity pulls us less.

on its axis, if you are at the equator, the speed is 265.83km/hr

we still walk on it because the gravity of the Earth is strong enough to hold us.

Answer 3

we can walk becose we have powe of our own musles to move .. as we are living beings.. but water is dead thing.. not livin. so it just stay at surface of earh like stones and other non living things. and our muscles have more power than the power of gravity, thast why can jump in upward direction..
