Edit Reason: fixed it.

The Earth rotating 1,040 mph
The Earth rotating around the sun 30 km/sec The reason why it looks stationary to us. centrifugal force and a combination of gravity. I.E. Simpler Terms We are attracted to the center of the Earth due to gravity. Centrifugal force also plays a part as well as friction. Centrifugal force and friction work in tandem without atmosphere we wouldn't have oxygen or even whether, because we have a atmosphere why we have weather. Going to the part why we do not feel the motion of the earth traveling so fast. We not feel it because the speeds are constant and if we did we wouldn't be alive at the moment. The acceleration of the spinning earth away from your feet is, at the equator, about .02 m/s^2. It's swamped by the gravity, about 9.8 m/s^2. You don't feel a difference like that, though it shows up on a scale or an bathroom scale. i hope this clears that up for you.

I used to wonder the same when I was 5. If I dropped something in the back of a car going 60 mph, why was it not immediately pressed against the seat back? I didn't get my answer until I was a teen when I read popular books about relativity. It's understandable that an adult not into science might wonder the same thing but once explained to them, it should be clear. If it is not, they do NOT require our help. They require the help of a neurosurgeon.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's why tornadoes almost always spin the other way round in the southern hemisphere. Stupid christer fucks. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

We can define the earth to be stationary if we introduce weird coriolis and centripetal forces as real forces, which let the universe rotate about earth once every 24 hours. So when we say that the earth is not stationary, what we really mean is that the laws of physics are vastly simpler in one specific coordinate frame in which earth rotates with a certain speed. It's more subtle that people usually admit.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

A related thing, I can prove that the earth is flat.... railway lines are flat and they never leave the surface of the earth (except for bridges and tunnels)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
