If the the earth is the 3rd planet of the sun, how come we never feel the earth moving around the sun ? do you know ?

answers:
Samir say: I think we do, I'm feeling quesy all of a sudden! Oh wait, it's because of the question.
-
Clive say: Because we're moving WITH it.
-
Jeffrey K say: We are affected by the Sun's gravity just like the earth. We are in the same orbit as our planet. Both the earth and us are in a free fall around the sun.
-
Bill-M say: Gravity
-
Joan H say: The simple answer is that we are moving with the earth at the same speed and in the same direction so do bit feel the earth or ourselves moving.
-
Donut Tim say: It is because humans don't have the capability to physically detect motion.
We can detect "changes" in motion.
-
Pearl say: probably cause its too big to feel it
-
Mr. Smartypants say: We don't feel motion. We feel speeding up and slowing down, and we feel change in direction. The earth doesn't change speed, either in rotating or revolving around the sun, so we don't feel it. If it stopped suddenly, we'd sure feel that!

ocularnervosa say: Lay on the lawn at sunset and point your toes towards the sun, you'll feel the motion of the planet.
-
billrussell42 say: because the atmosphere and everything else is moving along with you and the earth.
You do not feel motion unless you have something else to compare it to.
-
Steven say: No one can feel motion, because as long as you keep moving the same velocity, there is no force involved. What you can feel is acceleration, including vibration and "deceleration". That means your velocity is changing. As long as you and the Earth keep up a constant motion, there is noting to feel. Do you feel the speed of your car or an airplane once it gets going: no. Same deal. Maybe the bumpy road vibration.

Dale-E say: This experiment works best laying flat on your back on flat farm land with toes pointed up and soles of feet toward the setting sun, so that you can observe it between your feet when you are ready.. Pick an evening with scattered clouds at sun set.
Sometimes, as night progresses, a dew will settle around you and a chill may come in. However the more you work with this experiment, you will become accustomed to the changes caused by the earth's moving and turning while going around the sun. So try it on special days, not continuously.
Your various senses will be able to feel or detect the changes as they progress. I have not done this recently, but hopefully, you will still be able to pick it up, as long as you limit your distractions.

say: What is wrong with you? are you mentally ill?
-
Joseph hola say: We are too small and are moving with the Earth.
-
CarolOklaNola say: Yes, I do know. The semi circular canals of our ears are moving at the same rates as the Earth is rotating ams revolving around the Sun and the entire Solar System is evolving around Sagittarius A* whole moving toward Andromeda I while revolving around Virgo 81.
