If an airplane is going 600 miles per hour against the spin of the earth which is 2400 mph approximately and the air plane is 30k miles up in the air? How is a flight going some where against the spin then back is the same time?

And how does the spin of the earth affect an airplane 30k miles up in super thing air? What is transferring the movement from the ground to the super thing air 30k miles up?

No. The argument is that if we are on a spinning ball rotating at over 1000mph at it's equator, it should have a significantly measurable effect on baseballs and airplanes.

PS. I do not want to ride on any airplane that move through air the same way as a baseball.

Why not baseballs are cool.

And you are forgetting that you and the baseball and the airplane are also rotating with the giant ball. It's relative speed.

One car goin 68 and one car goin 69 are 1 mile per hour apart. It's the same thing.

Agreed. If those two cars are going the same direction.

Everyone on earth is spinning the same direction. So if the plane is spinning as well, and going 400mph the other way, it will move 400 miles the other way in an hour. That spot on earth will be moved too, but the plane the earth and all the lil babies in between moved too, so it closes the gap as expected.
