WHY WE CANNOT SEE EARTH SPINING ?

Image
Our earth is spinning at very fast speed but we can't see its spinning because of the following: Constant Speed Perception: One reason we don't visibly perceive the Earth's rotation is that it rotates at a relatively constant speed. Unlike a rotating object that speeds up and slows down, the Earth's rotation maintains a relatively consistent speed of approximately 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) at the equator. This constant speed makes the rotation less noticeable to our senses. Imperceptible Scale: The Earth is massive, with a circumference of around 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles) at the equator. This immense size contributes to the imperceptibility of its rotation. Changes in our position on the Earth's surface are too gradual for our senses to detect, and the vast scale of the planet makes the rotational motion seem negligible. Frame of Reference: Our daily experiences are tied to the Earth's rotation, and our bodies have adapted to this ...
