If the earth didn't rotate, wind would travel the globe in straight lines. Instead, the spin of the earth causes winds to seemingly curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This curvature of the winds is known as the Coriolis effect. In the...
As advanced as it is, the ship’s radar can only detect targets in its line of sight, and the missile’s low altitude, along with the curvature of Earth, means the missile only becomes detectable at 30 miles away. Math tells us that, given the speed of the missile and its ...

In recent AwardWallet user redemptions, United MileagePlus miles have averaged 1.69¢ per mile for economy award bookings. Using this as a bare minimum, an extra 21,000 miles over Aeroplan is worth around $355 more in mileage costs. So, if all programs show the same availability and you...
The higher you go, the more you range you’ll get. Surprisingly the curvature of the Earth even on short distances does have a measurable effect on your range. The curvature is approximately 8 inches per mile or 1 foot every 1.5km (source) which means holding your radio higher and getting...
So, if I take a gyroscope made of a steel band 2 inches by 0.3 inches and spin it up to the same velocity, xxx, it will lift off the Earth, right? If you mean a small gyroscope, no it won't. The curvature of the cable has to be substantially vertical and the force holding ...

You can even make out the curvature of the Earth's surface. Bad weather is the biggest problem and often results in climbers having to return. For best weather plan in May between the winter and summer monsoons. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published...
