A car experiences air resistance as it speeds along because it is at the bottom of an ocean of air held in place by earth's gravity (much as a submarine experiences water resistance as it speeds along through the ocean). The earth carries along its water and air masses (like the still air within a car with closed windows) and experiences no air resistance. Of course the heating of earth's air mass coupled with the spin of the earth combine to create our weather patterns (including hurricanes and tornadoes) and mountains are subject to local air resistance. The vacuum of outer space is so rarefied that it presents nil air resistance.

See,
There are no gases in space...
(there are in nebulas but not in path of earth)
There is not any wind which lets you experience the air..
Air is only in atmosphere
As there are no gases, no air, no atmosphere in the orbital path of earth,
EARTH EXPERIENCES NO AIR RESISTANCE....
Well, earth experiences the resistance from sun's particles, plasma and magnetic field.
Thank you

the friction between the earth and the ambience reasons the ambience to tutor with the earth itself, the warmth from the solar reasons convection currents that circulate the air which makes up for any capability loss because of the fact the earth turns, and confident, if the earth stopped rotating around its axis, one facet might freeze over, the different facet might bake.

There's some tiny resistance from the solar wind.

now wait a sec... someone asked about the Voyager and where it was in space and someone answered and gave a link that took me to a picture of earth's whole group of solar system and a 'bow wave' or 'helio/shock', I can't recall exactly and can't find the link ....that they said the farthest out Voyager should have recently passed thru.... now to get a bow wave, you gotta be moving thru SOMETHING don'tcha?.....or was I hallucinatin' again?........

I would think not since space is a vacuum.

Space has no atmosphere....so no air.
