If we live on the 3rd planet of the sun, how come we never the earth moving around the sun.  Do you feel the earth moving now ?

"I feel the Earth move under my feet, I feel the sky a tumbling, a tumbling down... whenever you're around!"

Generally, we don't "feel" motion, we feel acceleration and deceleration. As a person riding on the earth which is in constant motion, there is no logical reason for me to "feel" that.

You are moving around the sun along with the earth. It is a free fall orbit. So what forces would you expect to feel?

Like being in a Car or an Airplane once it is up to Cruising Speed
You dont feel any Acceleration
It is the same with the Earth, Even though it can gradually change Its Orbital Velocity in an Eliptical Orbit
The Force is Negligable for us on the Mass of the Earth

Because the acceleration and deceleration of the planet is very slight.  Earth spends half the year accelerating and the other half decelerating, at a rate of 1.3 km/h/h.  If you were in a vehicle travelling at 80 kph and after an hour it was travelling at 81.3 kph, you wouldn't notice.

Maybe. Sometimes I get dizzy for no reason.
