I heard something new that realy makes you wander. If the earth is rotating as they say than how airplanes can go in straight line? If earth is moving under them they should land way off the desired destinacion… 😮 They are not connected to the earth so rotacion shouldnt apply to them, it applyes only to cars and runing animals but not on airplains and bierds… Also when you jump from baloon that is wery high up, you shouldnt fall straight down, if the earth is rotating it should move under you and you could newer fall on the same spot that you jumped over… 🫢
I cant beleave this newer came to my mind for entire life… 😵
That’s a wonderful ELI5 explanation! I absolutely love it. If I had to critique it, I would challenge you to explain the jet streams at >30,000 ft. Stupid fluid dynamics making air move weird. You did a great job presenting the facts in a relatable way that I think most people can grasp and understand
