Thread Name: BS: circumference of the Earth
Subject: RE: BS: circumference of the Earth
So i was wondering how fast an airpoane would have to go heading west
in order to keep watching a perpetual sun set?

of course it would depend on the altitude at which it flies..

1,000 miles an hour? (or 26,000 -- if that is the circumference...divided by 24??)

and at a speed greater than that could you go faster than time?
