If two train tracks were parallel to one another and the two trains were going in opposite directions one complete time around the Earth, starting at the same point, at the same speed, one going in the direction that the Earth turns and one going against, would one get back to the starting point before the other?
Also would the speed of the trains matter if they were both doing 2mph or 100mph? Or if the Earth was spinning at 100mph?
