@HBK360MUSIC The gravity allows us to move with the Earth, otherwise if I jump then the ground will be moving and I will land in a totally different spot.

@HBK360MUSIC The Earth spins at around 0.29 miles per second, if I jump and stay 3 seconds in the air, then I should land 0.87 miles away from where I originally jumped from. this is according to your logic. Snipers dont consider the rotation of the Earth, they consider the speed of the wind.

@HBK360MUSIC Another thing, if the Earth is rotating Eastward, then how does a plane go from Los Angeles to New York? If the Earth rotates at 1,038 MPH and a plane goes at 550 MPH, then would the rotation of the Earth go faster than the plane? How would the plane reach New York from Los Angeles? According to your logic, the only way to go from Los Angeles to New York is for the plane to go Westward, the opposite direction of the Earth, through Japan, Asia, and Europe, to finally reach New York, but that doesnt happen.
