The most common answer seems to be that "gravity pulls me and makes me remain over Japan"...but lets assume that I am hovering over the Equator and remaining over the Equatorial line the whole time...meaning the gravity remains the same through out....and I was of the belief that Gravity is directed towards the center of the Earth and not over any place in particular (JAPAN ) in this case....If I am right..then how can Gravity which is always directed towards the center of Earth...cause a drag effect that keeps me over Japan.....
Then another answer i got about being governed by the laws of nature...and flying form east to west and from West to east taking different time....isnt that right actually...isnt that the reason why aircrafts flying from US to India flies against the rotation of the Earth and not with the rotation of Earth...correct me if i am wrong.
I know I am wrong guys,that what I said is not possible!! but I cant find a explanation to this..thats why i am posting it ag
