Why can’t we see the Earth spinning from space?

Question

Same for the ISS…it looks like it’s standing still but it’s actually moving. Why is that?

In: 0

Answer 1

Because it’s spinning really slowly, as the earth completes one rotation every 24 hours, it is in fact slower than the hour hand on an analog watch

The iss is spinning quite a bit faster around the earth at one revolution every 90 minutes, still pretty slow to notice, 3 times slower than the minute hand
