Jet stream

A jet-stream is a current of air high above the earth. They move eastward at altitudes of about 5 to 9-miles.
Where is an object that is stationary to earth's surface moving faster relative to space?
Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

What exaplins the eastward movemnt of the planets?
The turning of the earth. The direction of the earth's turning makes it look like things are rising in the east and setting in the west, but we're the one that's moving.
Which direction does the earth move eastwards or westwards?
The earth moves from west to east; it moves eastward. This is why we observe the sun rising in the east. We are moving toward it. From the north, we would see this as a counter-clockwise rotation of the earth on its axis.
What do you call huge masses of rapidly moving air miles above the earth's surface?
I call huge masses of rapidly moving air miles above the Earth's surface the Jet Streams.
What part of the earth are the tectonic plates moving above?
north and west
As seen from the Earth the Sun appears to move eastward along the ecliptic among the stars. What is the possible reason for this?
This is the result of Earth's orbital movement around the Sun.
What is the current of air high above the earth called?
