Question that was always bugging me.
Why doesn't a helicopter which could theoretically hover on the spot for hours doesn't end up in another part of the world. Since it's off from the ground doesn't it lose the velocity of Earth's rotation? What keeps it in the same place/at same velocity all the time? I would assume that it's the atmosphere that's rotating along with the planet right?
