Why do we not feel the movement of the earth?
The earth moves around the sun at a speed of 108 to 110 thousand kilometers per hour and rotates around the sun once every 24 hours. But the question that arises is why we do not feel the movement of the earth?
Greg Gabor, a professor of physics of optical sciences at the University of North Carolina, USA, says about this: We know that there is no such thing as absolute jerk and the only thing that matters is relative motion. People like Newton and Galileo have mentioned this. are Galileo has a famous experiment in which he refers to the experience of being in a ship. Imagine a ship moving in calm water and another ship anchored at a dock. According to the laws of physics, you won't feel any difference in these two ships. The atmosphere of the planet is moving at the same speed as ours and the earth, so it is constant in relation to us.
