Several questions were asked about the moon and sun after answering the flat earth claims in detail, as well as questions re the Society itself and its website, but none were answered.
That's not how you debate a topic and prove a point.
I'll answer the 'feeling it' one too but then it's the other side that has several points it did not address at all, where the Flat Earth Theory was debunked with facts.
Why you don't feel it is several-fold: your nervous system is differential and your body adapts to constant values. We experience the same gravitational force all the time, so our sense of 'down' is constant.
Another factor is Earth being waaay more massive than we humans are, so the force created by that mass pulling us towards it is stronger than we are pulling Earth towards us.
I mentioned gravity keeping the moon in orbit, but there is also the matter of Satellites.
Human made satellites work cuz gravity, without gravity they'd not work.
Objects with mass are attracted to each other, so we have tides and we have planets orbiting around the sun and so on and so forth.
I gave the measurement for the gravitational acceleration near Earth's surface from the Scientists at the AGU...
now who are these folks making these claims with no facts to back them up, and why should we throw away the evidence and just believe them?
That's what is thug stuff: facts don't demand belief, but people should demand facts be proven or faith not given.
My other unanswered questions include:
Without the linear, perpendicular momentum that creates an orbit, what force would keep the sun (or the moon) hovering there above the Earth, instead of crashing down into Earth?
And, since your model of Earth would require the Sun to be smaller than the Earth, another unanswered question:
Why does the Sun not burn it up?
Because we know the sun is more than 100X the diameter of the Earth--if you can show otherwise that is fine, please do.

Satellites are not real, it all works with antennas! TVs for example are just radios on steroids.
The Sun is clearly much smaller than they told us, illuminating the earth locally, orbiting the sky.
