Answer:

The Need for Speed

A major conceptual barrier to accepting the rotation and revolution of the Earth is that the speeds required are enormous.

Speed of the Earth's Rotation at the Equator:

Circumference of the Earth at the Equator = 40,000 kilometers

Time to complete one Rotation = 24 hours

Speed of Rotation = Distance/Time = 40,000 km / 24 hr = 1670 km/hr

The speed of revolution around the Sun is even larger:

Speed of the Earth's Revolution around the Sun:

Radius of the Earth's Orbit = 1 AU = 150,000,000 kilometers

Circumference of the Earth's Orbit = 2*pi*R = 942,000,000 kilometers

Time to complete one Orbit = 365.2422 days = 8766 hr

Speed of Revolution = Distance/Time = 942,000,000 km / 8766 hr = 107,000 km/hr = 30 km/sec

In the typical time it takes to read this sentence (about 15 seconds), the Earth will have moved through space by about 450 km, or about the width of the state of Ohio.

Consider that the fastest things people had experienced prior to the invention of steam power moved at speeds of only a few 10s of km/hr (horses, fast ships). Even the fastest winds are only 150 km/hr.
