The Earth is not standing still, it is in constant motion

Reasons why the Earth is standing still 1) We have days 2) We have seasons 3) Satellites have shown that the Earth moves 4) The Coriolis effect is a property caused by Earth's motion 5) The stars cannot physically move fast enough around the Earth each day if it was standing still 6) The Sun would have destroyed the Earth long ago if it were standing still 7) The Moon 1) The most obvious evidence we have that the Earth is moving is the fact that each and every day, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Since the Sun is hundreds of times larger than the Earth that means that the Sun has a much more massive gravitational pull on Earth than the Earth has on the sun, which means it is physically impossible for the sun to be orbiting around the Earth each day since the Earth's gravitational pull is far more inferior than the sun's is Gravity is basically mass x distance. The larger an object is the more gravity it will have, and the closer and object is to another object the stronger the gravitational force is. Earth is pretty far away from the sun, and the Sun's gravity is far more powerful than the Earths which implies that the Earth is a product of the Sun's gravitational influence, not the other way around. 2) Seasons are another obvious example of the Earth's movement. As the Earth orbits around the sun, the tilt of the Earth on its axis causes the amount of sunlight coming from the Sun to strike different parts of the Earth as the year progresses. During winter months, the Earth's tilt causes sunlight to strike the southern hemisphere more than the northern hemisphere since the Earth's tilt causes the Southern hemisphere to be more exposed to the sun than the north. Then during Summer months the exact opposite happens where Earth's tilt then causes the northern hemisphere to receive more sunlight than the south would. Seasons happen as a result of Earth's yearly revolution around the sun. 3) The number of satellites currently in Earth orbit has recorded the Earth moving innumerable times. Since all satellites move constantly in different directions but all observe the Earth spinning around its axis one rotation per 24 hours, it is quite easy to see that the Earth is indeed moving. 4) The Coriolis effect is basically an effect caused by Earth's movement which causes objects to be going in a straight line to begin to turn due to Earth's rotation. Its a concept kind of hard to understand, so here's a link that could enlighten you http://geography.about.com... 5) If the Earth were standing still, then that means all the stars in the universe would have to orbit around Earth, which is impossible in two ways. One is Earths minimal gravitational pull being unable to cause billions of stars light years away to orbit around it, and the other is that its just flat out impossible for those stars to reach the speeds necessary enough to orbit around the Earth. Some of the nearest stars are about 20 light years away from the Earth. The distance needed to travel around the Earth in an orbital fashion would be the distance of the star from the Earth mutiplied by two and then multiplied by pi, or quite simply, Diameter x pi = circumference or the distance the star would have to travel in a day. 20 light years away, times 2, x 3.14 is just over 120 light years. 120 light years is the distance necessary for some stars to rotate around the Earth every DAY if the Earth were to be standing still, otherwise the heavens would not be in the same place every night like they are. However nothing can travel over the same distance in a day that it takes light, the fastest thing out there, to travel in 120 YEARS. Therefore the Earth must be moving since the stars that appear at night are unable to achieve the speeds necessary to orbit the Earth given their huge distance away from the Earth. 6) If the earth were standing still, then the Sun, which has a large gravitational pull on the Earth, would have sucked the Earth to its fiery demise long, long ago. But since this has not happened and since the Sun does not orbit around the Earth, that means that other forces are at play causing the Earth to not be pulled into the sun and that is because of Earths inertia. The Earth is moving around the sun at such high speeds that the Sun's gravitational pull is only strong enough to keep it in orbit around the Sun in the vacuum of space meaning not only is the Earth moving, but its hauling a** 7) The Moon was not always the Earth's planetary brother, at one point it was its own rogue planet drifting through space, until it literally ran into our beloved planet long ago. The impact from the moon (which at one point was the size of mars) striking the Earth surely must have caused the Earth to move since it was a glancing blow, (if the moon struck the earth head on, the two would have just absorbed each other and formed a really weird looking planet, but it was a glancing blow which means the moon hit the Earth, lost quite a lot of mass, and then drifted back into space only to become the Earth's cosmic neighbor) Such a massive collision though surely would have given the Earth movement, and because an object in motion will stay in motion, the Earth would have no reason to stop in the vacuum of space, where there is no force large enough to cause the Earth to stop moving over time since its quite literally empty. I will end here for now....
