The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion,
SubhanAllah

Seems to be a very smooth touchdown.

Indeed it was a soft touch down. My speed at touchdown was 120KNOTs 10KNOTs less than the usual 130KNOTS due the the emptiness of the aircraft.

Plus it was a fully automated landing using landing using the CAT III equipments (i.g 30L RWY).

B747 touch down speed varies according to the wind, flaps and weight at full flaps the ideal speed for touch down is between 130 - 140 knots. For a smooth touch down decent rate should be less than -250ft/min.
