Why don t we feel the earth spinning?

Why can't we feel Earth's spin? We can't feel Earth's rotation or spin because we're all moving with it, at the same constant speed. Earth spins on its axis once in every 24-hour day. At Earth's equator, the speed of Earth's spin is about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kph). read more

Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) per hour and orbits around the Sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant. read more
