Why don't we feel the Earth spinning?

Answer 1

its cuz the earth is spinning at a constant speed. the only way we will feel it is if the earth suddenly started spinning slower or suddenly faster

Answer 2

I believe your answer lies in the relativity of size and speed = motion.

Example: If you go to an amusement park and ride the Roundup (It's a spinning ride.) When you ride it you feel the rotation of the ride pulling toward the outside of the ride. Gravity seems to fail you on this ride. The reason is because the rotation is quick (speed) compared to the (size) of the planet (ride) giving a sense of (motion).

But as the object you ride gets bigger, the faster the rotation must be to feel the motion. The circumference of Earth is thousand miles (size) and rotates 1000's mph, but it still takes 24 hours (speed) to complete.

The earth is really slow compared to it's large size, equals no motion felt.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Because we move with it. The Earth actually rotates really fast compared to speeds we're used to.
Also as someone mentioned, it rotates at a constant speed, you can only feel it if its accelerating or decelerating.

Answer 4

Actually the earth moves faster then a jet but we are use to it and gravity helps.

Answer 5

Because we are moving at the same speed, and you can only detect a movement when undergoing an acceleration as all motion is relative.

Answer 6

gravity keeps us from feeling the earth revolving, ect.
hope this helps

Answer 7

The Earth is big we are small.

Answer 8

its probably cuz theres gravity around us and it makes us think that the earth doesnt move but its everything around it moves

Answer 9

It's because earth moves very slowly that we can't feel it

Answer 10

Because we move with it, as does the atmosphere, the movement is so smooth that motion can't be detected.
