Chapter One: Doese the earths rotation affect the time for airplain to reach other parts of the glob?
East vs West, and time travel for airplain thats off the earth ? Will the airplain get to the west cost sooner than to the east cost do to the earths rotation?

The answer is yes. Also in effect are the angle of incline or decline of the craft, the arc of the path, and of course, Wrexx N Effect are always in effect.
No. That atmosphere rotates with the globe. If it didn’t, we’d have a perpetual (approximately) 1,000 mile per hour wind at the equator.Answer by joe
No it doesn’t because the atmosphere rotates along with the earth.Answer by Ronald r
Is there something wrong with you? Can you not spell? Where did you go to school?
Most people are educated beyond where you are. Why would you participate in Q and A when you obviously can’t spell?
Do you really think Cost is the same as coast?
Can you really not spell airplane?
There is even a spell check button right here!
Learn to spell so people will take you seriously.
The rotation itself does not let you get to destinations faster but the timezone system effects the local time at you departure and arrival. Since this is based on the direction of rotation of the planet, in an indirect way, the rotation does effect how long (in terms of local time at departure vs local time at arrival) the flight will take but the absolute time (number of minutes in the air) will always be the same… unless you go ballistic and actually leave the atmosphere.Answer by pearlsawme
The earth is rotating about its axis. Earth means all objects including the atmospheric gases. Therefore all are rotating about the axis.
Any object in the equator is rotating from West to East, with a speed of 465m/ s. i.e.
1647 km/ hour.
A plane cannot stop in mid air. It will descend if its speed is reduced. However you can think of a helicopter which can stop in mid air.
Even though it stops there, as already stated it is moving along with earth, i.e. it is moving with a speed of 465m/s toward East.
Suppose we are moving in a plane with a speed of 100km/hour (28 m/s) in the western direction. This speed is relative to earth.
But for an observer from the sun, the earth is moving with a speed of 465 m/s toward east, where as we are moving with a speed of 437m/s ( slower than the speed of earth) toward east. Note that even though we are moving toward west with reference to earth, actually we are moving toward east.
Suppose there are two cities A and B, if we go by a plane from A to B, The two cities and the plane are moving toward east with a speed of 465m/s toward East.
If the plane’s speed is 100 km/ hour (28 m/s) in from A to B (in any direction), since all the three A, B and the plane are moving toward east with a speed of 465m/s toward east, the time taken by the plane to reach B is only the distance between A and B divided by the speed ((28 m/s). This value is not at all affected by the speed of rotation of earth.
No.Answer by # one
No the atmosphere rotates at the same space as the solid earth does.
