飛機飛行時間與地球自轉的關係

2007-07-26 10:49 pm

一般而言，飛機的飛行時間及距離，從兩個地方互相對飛，

例:A地與B地 -
1)由西飛到東即A->B 和
2)由東飛到西即B->A ，

會隨地球的自轉(由西向東自轉)及地心吸力等物理因素影響而有所不同嗎?
(回答時請除去其他如1)飛行途經地不同，2)自然現象如天氣、風向，3)飛機型號，4)其他人為(如載重，飛行速度....諸類可能影響飛機的飛行時間及距離等因素。)

請儘可能提供可靠的資料來源，謝謝。

Assume you bring a watch and then travel on the plane, then the time used counted by you watch will be the same for you go from A to B and B to A. If the only factor is due to the plane only.

When you are flying, gravity is pulling you to rotate with the earth together.

The atomsphere on the earth is hold by the gravity, the air moves as the earth rotate if there is not external effect except gravity. This question is similar to those when Galileo Galilei (伽利略) said the earth is moving, people ask him and how the birds fly.

If you take the time zone in calculation, it will be different, expecially if you pass the international day line.
