La rotación y revolución de la tierra: día y la noche

The video explains that although we don't feel the Earth spinning, it rotates at speeds up to 1600 km/h. This rotation occurs around an imaginary axis from the North Pole to the South Pole, completing a full rotation approximately every 24 hours, which we call a day. The Earth's rotation is responsible for the cycle of day and night.

Why don't we feel the Earth spinning even though it rotates at high speeds?

• Because the atmosphere blocks the sensation.

• Because the Earth is moving too slowly.

• Because the Earth is too large.

• Because we are used to the motion.
