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?

Questions such as these show how little grasp of physics (or English) the flatsies have. "The air plane is 30k miles up in the air"? What? Thirty thousand miles up in the air? What?? I'm going to be kind, and assume the OP is just an asshole, rather than a total moron.

Sorry 30k feet in the air. What is the circumference that high up? How much further is it traveling around the globe when it's 30k cruising altitude? So they go up that high in thinner air and the rotation of the earth going 2400 mph??? I'm guessing at the speed I don't know it exactly off hand... at that altitude a spinning globe some how doesn't do anything the airplane magically goes with the rotation and then back the other way and the time of air travel is not greatly affected? 2 hours to Vegas 2 hours back going with 2400 mph rotation or against it in an airplane going what ? 600 mph?
