So after swim practice I was waiting for my ride and pondering the universe. I was thinking about the Earths orbit around the sun and rotation around its axis. I then came across a very interesting question...
If I were to simply jump straight up into the air, why doesn't the Earth move right under my feet? Assuming that there is no wind and stuff like that, why do I land in the exact same place I jumped from? Wouldn't the Earth just move really fast under me until I hit the ground?
Hope my question made sense :)
