curiousone;
to put it another way, even if the earths gravity were to suddenly completely cease, we would not go flying off the earth. in fact the centrifugal force would be so negligible as to be “practically” non-existent. picture an ant sitting on the end of the HOUR hand of a smoothly moving analog clock (not one that “ticks”). how much centrifugal force is that ant experiencing from the movement of the hand. that hand is moving at the same angular acceleration as the earth.
[of course you would have to make SOME kind of effort to stay put such as touching any object attached to the earth, say a tree. the friction of the slightest touch would keep you from slowly eventually floating away, as long as you didnt make any kind of motion against the earth, such as walking.]
