Now im really confused.. ya'll gonna make me go read something aint you....lol

it has to affect getting somewhere faster than other places depending on direction.. you would think??

The earth spins under a plane as it travels, at 15 degrees per hour.

But that doesn’t mean much when everything else on the planet including the atmosphere spins with the earth.

The air mass that supports the plane as it travels is rotating along with the earth, under its gravitational pull and at the same speed.

So therefore the earth’s rotation does not have any effect on when the plane arrives.

Im glad your on our team greenlines....Smartypants...

not really because it only affects things that are in space not on what is on ground..if it did we would be able to stand in one spot on the horizon and watch things move past us

lol yes yes i am the schoolgirl of the team

I will stick with resident pot-head....

So basically everybody and everything is moving at the same spd as the rotion and anything extra is rotation spd+rugalar spd...gotcha...

So if I was in space the lanes would be going faster than the rotation thus making it around the world in any directionn...
