What would happen if you had a cord long enough to be in space and earth? (For example tying a cord onto a satellite long enough to touch the ground on earth would it appear to float?)
In: Planetary Science
It could vary. If attached to something in space going as fast the earth rotates then it would appear to just go in a line to it and seem to be floating. If attached to something going faster or slower it will reach its limit and pull whatever its attached to down to earth and the rope would follow it. Basically it would look like a giant kite string just you couldn’t see the kite.
