Because they are taken with it due to momentum.

One way to measure rotation is in RPM, for the Earth that is about .000694 RPM, pretty slow if you think about it. Oh and there is inertia, planes fly in air, ships are in the oceans, which are part of the Earth and all move together.

For the same reason as you aren't. Like you, they're moving at thousands of miles an hour along with the Earth. So all they need is the extra speed to get somewhere, same as when you walk.

For the same reason you are not being blown off your feet by the 1,000 mph wind every time you step outside.

Because the air they're in and the water they're floating on are moving at the same speed...

The atmosphere and the oceans are both moving with the earth so planes and ships just go along with the earth's movement. Just like you don't feel a 1000mph head wind whenever you walk east.

For the same reason that if you are in a car going 60 mph, you are not always trying to catch up. The planes, ships, air and oceans are all moving with the Earth.
