Eli5: When you lie down after a day at the pool, it still feels like you are floating around on the surface of the water. Why is that?

This also happens a lot from being on a boat or in a car for long periods of time, it’s from the fluid in your inner ear that is compensating for the rocking of the water to keep you from getting all dizzy. Once you get out, your ear still is trying to compensate for that rocking but it’s not there anymore.
