A little History: It was believed that there existed a “Luminiferous Ether” that was the carrier of light in the vacuum of Space. What else could support the movement of light in the vacuum of outer Space?
The Earth moves around the Sun with a speed of about 30 km/second. This motion around the Sun was believed to be an observable fact. Therefore the Michelson- Morely experiment was developed by Michelson and Morley.
The objective of the Michelson- Morley experiment was to prove the existence of this Ether.
Light was expected to have different speeds in different directions.
Light would have one speed in line with the Earths motion around the Sun (about 30 km/s), and another speed measured at a right angle (90 degrees) to the Earths motion.
The Michelson- Morley experiment failed to show any difference in the speed of light in any direction. It was one of the most famous experiments, with a negative result. (No speed difference!)
Einstein took the result of this experiment as a proof that the speed of light is a constant in any Frame of reference. (As long as gravitation is not involved. See the General Theory of Relativity!)
Michelson–Morley experiment - Wikipedia
No apparatus connected to Earth can observe the motion of Earth, since the Apparatus follows Earth in its motions! (A personal refection of mine!)
According to Relativity, all speeds are relative, and all Frames of reference are of equal value. There are no absolute speeds! (Any measurement of Absolute speed, would nullify The theory of relativity!)
