Can anybody explain how the Earth moves in 3 seperate curved/corkscrew linear paths from 66,600mph to 1.2 million mph while spinning at over 1,00mph?........and yet we don't sense/feel anything!

Shelli? I did in fact go and ask this exact query on several science forums, whereby I was given explainations ranging from, "imagine a fairground ride that goes round and round" to, "using mathematical jargon ie bollex gobshite" to, "trying to make me feel stupid for asking the query in the first place".......not 'one' of these professed boffins could offer-up the answer I was actually loooking for.......Shalom.
