the earth rotates, but when you are in the air, you rotate with the earth, how does this work?
In: Physics
If you jump straight up, you keep whatever horizontal velocity you started with.
As for planes, their speed while flying is in relation to the air, and while the air does move in relation to the ground(i.e. wind), it’s relatively slow compared to the rotation of earth around its axis. Because air has friction with the ground.
