The location where the person would be levitating would be 23 degrees south latitude and 23 degrees east longitude. He goes up at noon and lands at noon. He levitates to a height of 4000 miles.

That would depend on variable. If there was wind during that 24hr period you would move. Another variable is if you had gas. If you farted in the air, it could act as a propulsion system and move you some distance.

OK Only if it is on a Tuesday and the weather is above 78 degrees. And there is a NW wind of AT LEAST 27 knots. And you haven't put on any weight since you were at the Dr last. This might then be possible. Oh....wait a minute...Did you say 23 degrees south? Never mind. That blows my theorie.

This question is geeky and weird. I can only answer with something as equally geeky and weird.
My simple answer is yes. You don't land in a different spot when you jump straight up. But if you are talking about escaping earth's gravity, then you would be in outer space after 24 hours because the earth wouldn't merely spin under you, but would travel away from you as it followed its orbit around the sun.
Ask a better question if you want a better answer.

Wouldn't it depend on whether you levitate in a geosynchronous orbit or not? Not a precise question.
Since the earth's rotation "day" is not exactly 24 hours, assuming a non-geosynchronous orbit, then you would not come down in the same place. Plus there must be other factors, but that's the most obvious one.

The Earth rotates once per 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, so all other things being equal (aka no wind), you would end up in almost the exact same spot.

No if you went 4000 miles into orbit you'd explode ,die and just float away
Your Q is out of this world <">

Nope impossible, the earth couldn't possibly rotate on a perfect axis... not to mention levitation?

4000 miles? That's well out of the earth's atmosphere... And, it's in the Middle Earth Orbit... So, provided his frozen dead corpse reentered Earth's atmosphere in one spot (instead of thousands when his water-based body explodes in space) it would be somewhere else.

as long as he stays within earth's atmosphere then yes he will land in the same spot. anything within the atmostphere is subject to the forces that cause the earth to rotate.
