It's all moving...everything that exist moves. To some degree a thing a can not be if it does not move. This idea is just an "extension" of something called "Heisenberg uncertainty principle"

This is true with the stars and it is true with the planets and it is true with the plane. A plane that travels 1 mile in the air can be helped by the rotaion of the earth which may or may not decrease the amount of energy the plane uses depending on which direction it travels.

As for the Suns' affect on this. .......The planes true point in Space-time has changed. The Plane did not truly go in a straight line. It now seems to be traveling in the shape of a parabola. Depending on you "point of view", the farther you are from the planet the more you notice it did not move at all. If you remove yourself completly from this Universe then the plane simply did not move. Not because you cant see it but because everything else in the universe moved. It all.............relative to your "point of view".

It is gravity at work.

While the earth spins faster then a plane can fly and keep up. The earths gravitational pull is keeping the plane close to earth.

Gravity is slightly stronger the further away you are and so at 20-30,000 feet. Knowing this the plane is going to say with the earth as it moves. No matter what the speed.

It is like throwing a ball into the air. The ball will not suddenly fly off at 10,000mph in the opposite direction of the earths spin. The earth gravity keeps everything in check.

If gravity blew a fuse, all the planes flying would have to land at 10,200mph so to be ahead of the earth and not jerked off the back end of the runway.

Does this help?

So you are in this plane, it is on the ground, at an airport on the equator. You are doing approximately 1000m.p.h. as the planet turns, the planet is also traveling through space at approximately 67000 m.p.h. as we orbit the sun. The Sun travels through space in the western arm of our spiral galaxy, The Milky Way, (or whatever) . The Galaxy itself is also moving, spinning within our own local group of Galaxies and moving away from the centre of the big bang at the same time. AND YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW A PLANE STAYS IN THE SKY? Aerodynamics!

hehe agreed. stay in school, they will tell you.

The aero dynamics and reasons a plane flies, has nothing to do with the forces which keeps the earth circling the sun.


hint: a plane has wings, planet earth has not.
