The
Earth moves at a very high speed. It rotates on its axis at a speed of about
1,000 mph (1,600 km/h). and revolve around the Sun at a speed of approximately
67,000 miles per hour (107,000 kilometers per hour).
We do not feel this movement because these speeds are the same or
constant. Earth's axial and orbital velocities remain the same So we don't feel
any kind of acceleration or deceleration.
You can only feel motion when your speed changes. For example,
if you are in a car that is moving at a constant (uniform) speed on a straight
surface, you will not feel any movement. However, when the car accelerates or
when the brakes are applied, you feel the movement.
