Explanation
感 means to feel/sense and 到 marks that the feeling is reached. 感到 is typically followed by an emotion or inner state — 感到幸福 (feel happy), 感到意外 (feel surprised), 感到累 (feel tired) — though it can also take a clause (感到时间过得太快). Compared with the casual 觉得 (which readily introduces an opinion), 感到 is slightly more formal and focuses on experiencing a sensation.
