Let's assume that there was some mechanism by which we could remain suspended in air. By this I mean that our feet is not in contact with the ground. One possible way of doing this would be by means of a jetpack. If we could remain suspended in air for a while in this manner, will we be in a different place when we come down, due to the Earth's rotation? When I thought of this problem in the micro scale using a ball (which rotates), it appears like I'll be in a different place when I come down from my suspended state. Am I overlooking something here?
