This is a very basic physics question and the same reason you can throw a ball up in the back of a pickup traveling at 50 miles per hour and still catch it. The pickup, the ball, and you are all traveling at 50 miles per hour.Why is it if I shoot my gun in the air straight up the bullet will fall down near me and not several hundred yards away if the earth is spinning at up to 1000 mph at the equator?
What school did you go to?
