Earth movement is similar to flying in an airplane. We notice the forces when taking off and landing (acceleration and deceleration force). However, if we are in the air and flying at a constant speed, no forces are at work – and we do not feel the movement.
We also don’t notice the movement because our surroundings – for example our seat, the other passengers, but also the air in the plane – move at the same speed. But if we sat on the wing, we would see and feel the movement.
It is the same with the flight of the earth through space. We don’t realize that our planet is constantly moving because it is neither accelerating nor decelerating. And because our environment – from the neighboring house to the sea and mountains to the atmosphere – moves with the earth, we do not perceive the movement.
