in life •  7 years ago 

Every science book,website or even your old science teacher has mentioned that the earth spins which to some of us seems weird, honestly how does it move because it don't feel like it, right.... Well fear not by the end of this article you shall finally see. 

The spins at 1000 mph yet we don't feel it at all.... like when you in a plane because of the movement you become used to it likewise earths movement we don't feel through time we became used to it

The reason you don't feel the movement is because the earth isn't accelerating or decelerating. We can't feel speed, we can only feel the change of speed. When speed is changing, it causes a force against us, and that's what we associate as acceleration. Similarly when driving a car, you only feel speed when you speed up, slow down, or turn a corner, because those are the only times forces are acting against you.

thanks

Lol.wish there was a better explanation.
