Ok, so, I just got home from a long drive to Knox County today. Not a good day. So I'm home and I'm bored. I figured this might be fun.
So the idea here is I will ask a stupid question, someone will answer (stupid or serious answer) and in turn ask a question. If you answer, ask. That simple. So here it goes....
If the Earth is spinning to the East, how is it that the clouds usually head in an easterly direction and not westerly? Wouldn't Earth spinning to the east logically make the clouds/Jet Stream/ocean elevators/etc move to the west?
I know the atmosphere has a lot to do with it, but it's just another thing that puzzles me.
See? I told you I was bored.
