The sensation of spinning or the rotation of the Earth does not cause objects to fly away from its surface because of the force of gravity. Gravity is the fundamental force that attracts objects toward each other, and it is responsible for keeping us and everything else on the Earth's surface.

The Earth's gravity pulls objects towards its center, creating a force that counteracts the outward centrifugal force caused by the rotation. The combination of these forces results in a stable equilibrium where objects, including our bodies, remain firmly on the Earth's surface.

In simpler terms, the force of gravity is much stronger than the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation. This gravitational force keeps us grounded and prevents us from being flung into space as the Earth spins. The Earth's mass and the relatively short distance between us and the Earth's center contribute to the strength of gravity.

It's worth noting that while the Earth rotates, we don't typically feel the effects of the rotation because we are moving along with the Earth's surface. It is only when we experience changes in velocity or acceleration, such as when riding a fast-spinning amusement park ride, that we may feel the effects of the rotation.
