Chief-Mkwawa If you are in a car heading east and another car is on your side heading in the same direction as your car at the same speed, the things you will notice are :-
- If you look at the other car it will not seem like it is moving, people in the other car will feel the same about your car, you will both seem like you are still. This also happens when the earth is rotating and revolving, since the earth moves with the atmosphere at the same speed it is traveling, we don't get to feel the air blowing in our eyes.
- You will not feel the the air generated by the other moving car blowing you, you only feel the wind if the car is moving in the opposite direction, remember the whole atmosphere is moving with the earth from east to west.
Another thing. Space is vacuum, so there's no air molecules in space, which means the movement of the earth doesn't generate blowing winds in space because? vacuum.
The reason the earth keeps on moving without stopping is also because of the fact that there's vacuum in space so no friction, newtons first law of motion.(an object will keep on moving if there's no force applied on it, i tried to simplify it)
When asteroids are falling, they start burning once they enter the earth's atmosphere because once they get to our atmosphere there's no longer that space vacuum, there's air, so its that friction with air that sets them on fire(I hope you still remember the effects of friction, if you don't just start rubbing your hand on your carpet)
When NASA is launching their stuff space ships into space, they launch in the direction of the Earth's rotation not the opposite direction this has proven to work all the time(proves that the earth is moving), launching in the same direction helps to propel the ships,
assume you are in bus moving at high speed and you decide to jump, which direction is is better to jump into? same direction as the bus or opposite direction? ( i'll leave that out for you to figure, hint: smart people will jump in the same direction as the bus)
When Astronauts are in space, they can actually see the earth moving and no astronaut has ever come out and say differently (again proves that the rotation theory is true)
Let's close this topic because people are just being stubbornly dumb here and refuse to understand logic, Until an astronaut/someone comes out and says 'no this shit is not spinning' it should remain that way,
the earth is rotating and whoever says otherwise should just launch into space take a video and come with his new evidence, and by the way that Sheikh is stupid like some people here.
