Why Don’t We Feel Earth’s Rotation? The World Of Science

Показать описание
Hey Spacegeeks
We are really sorry for not uploading any video for so long. We were working on several other projects for you guys. Meanwhile, here’s a short and simple video explaining why don’t we feel Earth’s Motion.
Let me tell you that Earth’s Spinning and orbital speed is not exactly constant (will explain why in the next video), as Earth is slowing down, thanks to the Moon being a bit of a gravitational drag. It pulls on the tidal bulge of our planet, which causes tidal friction, putting energy into the Moon's orbit.
As a result, Earth's rotation is slowing down by two-thousandths of a second every day. However, this change in speed is so infinitesimally small that it still feels like Earth is rotating at a constant rate. In other words, it feels like nothing at all.
I hope you got a rough idea about it. No worries, we will explain this as well in the upcoming videos, The World Of Science at your rescue ;)
