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

Assume that I am in Japan...I climb into a helicopter and go up to about 11 km...then i remain stationary for about 12 hrs?....Where will I be then?...In the US?....[expl: the earth is revovling ..and I am stationary...so logically speaking I must be on the other side of the globe ....]..Please lemme know is the explanation is correct....If it is !!!! then if i reduce the distance between the helicopter and earth to about 25 meters....again will the same conditions apply..meaning will i be in US after 12 hr?......(not considering the hills mountains and trees where my helicopter might get stuck)

Given the latitude and time of year, how do I calculate the angle of the sun at any random date? For example, at 66.5°N, the angle of the sun is 0° on Dec 22, 23.5° on the equinoxes and 47° on the summer solstice. Am I correct in that the speed is not linear (ie the angle would change much faster around the equinoxes than around the solstices). What equation can I use?

If that is the case then 1084 will also be multiplied by 1084 and so on.

Would you rather have a REFLECTOR that is 114mm (4.5) or REFRACTOR that is 130mm (5.1)

They cost the same and I need to choose one.

If planetary motion travels in an elipse how can the Earth be the same distance from the sun at all times giving us the measurement of 149.59 million kilometers?

If the Hubble Space Telescope proved that Hubble's constant is actually half as large as it is currently believed to be, what would the implied age of the universe be in comparison to the current accepted value?

hubbles constant is 70 km/s/mpc

Four times the accepted value
One fourth of the accepted value
Half of the accepted value
The same as the accepted value
Two times the accepted value

I'm trying to get my head around black holes. Can anyone explain in as simplistic a way as possible how the collapse of a star creates a black hole and what happens to the "stuff" that gets sucked into the hole.

Thanks guys 8-)
