Explain the movement of the earth by giving the example of an aeroplane or train.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of the movement of the Earth, illustrated with examples of how people are moving while sitting in a vehicle. This helps clarify the concept of movement in relation to the Earth’s motion.
Answer
The Earth rotates daily and orbits the Sun yearly. Like passengers in a moving train, we feel still because we move along with Earth.
The Earth continuously moves, rotating daily and orbiting the Sun yearly. Like passengers in a moving train or plane, we do not sense Earth's motion directly. Since we move with the Earth and its atmosphere, we stay in sync with its movement.

More Information
The Earth's rotation causes day and night, and its revolution around the Sun causes the change in seasons. Both movements are consistent and affect different aspects of our daily lives even though they're not readily perceptible.
Tips
Common mistakes include not factoring in the influence of Earth's atmosphere on movement or incorrectly assuming that movement should be perceived as it happens at larger scales.
