But, did you know that the Earth moves very fast even than a car?
The Earth rotates at speed of about 1,600 km/h (994 mph) and revolves around the sun at speed of about 107,000 km/h (66487 mph) equivalent to 460 m/s (miter per second), while the maximum speed of most of the cars on the road is typically around 120km/h (75 mph) to 260 km/h (160 mph).
So if the Earth moves at very high speed why we don't feel the move?
We actually don't feel the move of the Earth simply because the Earth rotates at a near-constant speed that is, it doesn't speed up or slow down in any way noticeable to us, we simply spin with it and don't feel a thing.
