Right, but does the earth and its 'adjacent' atmosphere spin (or turn, or revolve, or whatever you want to call it), along with the flying or resting objects with it?
It's really a simple question, it's not as hard as you're trying to make it.
Yes. It's called static inertia. Gravity and friction are also involved. The next time you have a drink on an airplane, think about why your beverage is traveling with you instead of leaping out of your glass at 600 MPH.

Yes I know the argument, it's been over four years now I've been dealing with this. There are just too many problems with the globe theory.
Now answer my question. Which of these images would best represent the area of the Earth lit by the sun at the summer equinox? Remember that at the summer equinox, each location is lit for 12 hours by the sun followed by 12 hours of darkness. The light spot center is located at the equator in all three images and only the size of the light spot has changed.
