Why do I get dizzy when I go around in circles?

When our eyes roll, we really see the scenery around us spinning around, but why does it look that way? To explain this, we must first understand what it means to see things with our eyes.

Seeing with the eyes does not mean that the eyes alone sense things. What we see with our eyes is transmitted to our brain, where we feel "I see! Then, you feel "I see!
However, when you go around in a circle, the scenery in your eyes moves so fast that your eyes cannot follow the scenery and your mind becomes confused. Eventually, the eyeballs begin to shake. In other words, the eyes start to cramp.
Then the eyes start to move so finely that you don't know what you are looking at. So, even though the body has stopped, the eyes are looking at various places on their own.
When you see the scenery around you spinning in circles, this is when your eyes are cramping up. In other words, the eyes and brain are in turmoil, which is why the eyes are spinning.
