Flat earth planets1/31/2024 If the Earth suddenly stopped moving, the atmosphere would continue to blast forward at 1,000 miles an hour, destroying everybody, according to NASA. When you're on a flight, do you feel like you are personally blasting at 570 miles an hour through the air? You feel a change in speed, not a constant. Well, no, you wouldn't - think about when you're an airplane or train ride that's moving at a constant speed, as astrophysicist Sabrina Stierwalt explained for Cornell University's 'Ask An Astronomer.' As long as it's a smooth, constant speed, you wouldn't feel any movements at all. Wouldn't people feel the rush of the rotation if the planet were spinning at that speed, you could ask. Here is an animation made for children that might help with the understanding: 'I don't feel the Earth rotating' Science has explained that the Earth rotates at 1,000 miles an hour at its equator, but flat-earthers are not buying it. In fact, if the moon "didn't spin" like the tweet suggested, it would mean that people would actually get to the see the far side of the moon. It neglects the fact that the moon, like the Earth and every other celestial object, also rotates on its own. The theory makes sense, but only if you're buying into all the other flat Earth fallacies. In this video posted on Twitter, which received more than 113 likes, the speaker argues that you can only see one side of the moon, in an attempt to prove that Earth is actually flat and underneath the lunar object.
