The Earth travels on its orbit at a speed of approximately 108,000 km/hr. Why do we not feel this high speed?

We are too small compared to the size of the Earth

Our relative speed with respect to the Earth along the Earth's orbit is zero

The gravity of the Earth constantly pulls us towards the Earth's centre

The solar system as a whole is also moving

Our relative speed with respect to the Earth along the Earth's orbit is zero. Hence, we don't feel the high speed of Earth.
