These people will call you dumb but you just proved the earth isn’t a revolving circle.

No wonder you’re so confused. You are one of those people that think the earth is round.

Only if the atmosphere weren't rotating with it. I'm no physicist, but the earth rotates at about 1,000 mph. If the air weren't rotating with with the land, pretty much everything would be destroyed by 1,000 mph winds.

Yes, but the 160th SOAR has the Force with them. They know the way.

Jump straight up as high as you can and get back to me.
Be sure to do this in an open field so as you don’t get smoked by a stationary structure.

I'm sorry the school system failed you so badly.

When you jump does the earth move beneath you and you land in a different spot?

Can they run that before depleting their kerosene supply?

Depends, is it African or European helicopter?

hovers in place
The salient issue is what this phrase means. It all comes down to what reference point you are using to "stay in place". Normally a helo hovering is using the earth as its reference, they aren't like a car in park they require constant input. So if a pilot is using the earth as the reference it will be over the same spot 1 hour later. If they were to use, for example, 3 stars as reference for the hove they would be over an entirely different spot in an hour.
It all comes down to what the pilot uses for the reference to hover.

Just curious why you're using earth as a frame of reference instead of the sun, or absolute frame of reference to the center of the milky way.

Without knowing any more physics. If a helicopter hovers in place and the earth rotates beneath it at one revolution per 24 hours, can a hovering helicopter end up going from the east coast to the west coast just by hovering for 3 hours?
Yes, it would be a time zone over. But understand that the earth’s atmosphere is rotating along with the earth, and to rotate in relative space, which is what you meant, the helicopter would have to fly through our atmosphere at the incredible speed of about 1,000 miles per hour.

Only if your definition of “hovering” includes jets flying at Mach 1+.

No which is proof that earth is flat
