Me and a friend have been wondering if it would be possible for a person to outrace the sun. more accurately, in a plane.
One of us is argueing that we would need to outrace the Earth's rotational velocity, the other is argueing that we could calculate the velocity of the sun by assuming that the sun travels the diameter of the Earth in 24 hours, thereby resulting in a necicary speed of ~330 MPH.
i was just wondering if someone could shine some light on this? how fast do we need to go (In MPH) to outrun the sun, and stay in daylight for as long as the fuel would last us
