Does the Earth spin underneath planes?
Does the Earth spin underneath planes? The atmosphere synchronously turns with the earth. When the plane is still on the earth, it is in fact turning with the earth; the plane has a speed relative to the earth, it does not have to take into account the rotation of the earth.
Can a plane leave Earth?
The higher you go, the less air there is, so as airplanes go higher and higher, they need to go faster and faster to stay aloft. Additionally, the jet engines of airplanes actually work by sucking air through them. All of this means that for almost all airplanes, space flight is impossible.
