It depends on the method of navigation. The motion of a ship or aircraft is relative to the earth, so inertial navigation or navigation by dead reckoning do not have to take the Earth's rotation into account. Similarly, if the pilot of a ship or aircraft is navigating by visible points of reference or by terrestrial radio beacons, then the rotation of the Earth does not have to be taken into account.
However, if the pilot is relying on celestial navigation, then the rotation of the earth must be taken into account, because the stars are being used as a frame of reference. Similarly, if the navigation relies on GPS, the GPS system must include the rotation of the Earth in its calculations, as the orbital planes of the GPS satellites are aligned to distant stars and do not move with the rotation of the Earth.

Can an artificial shadow tells time?
No the only way you can tell time from a shadow is from something ubstruckting direct sunlight any type of light that is not sunlight will not allow the change in earths rotation to change the angle of the shadow.
What does the cervical vertebrae allow us to do?
The allow for the movement of the head, particular flexion, extension, and lateral rotation.
Once mounted, will this bracket allow the TV to swivel or adjust rotation?
Once mounted the Premier Mounts XUT-1330L LCD/Plasma Wall Mount will in fact allow the TV to adjust rotation.
Can women become US Airforce fighter pilots?
Yes, finally they have been admitted. The USAF is one of the last western Air Forces to allow female fighter pilots.
Does this mounting plate allow you to turn the monitor or is it in a fixed position?
The Peerless PLP-UNLP is a fixed position plate and does not allow for rotation of the screen.
Can freely rotate about the carbon bonds because they only have single bonds?
Single bonds allow free rotation. Free rotation may be hindered sterically (large substituents that "bang" into one another " or due to hyperconjugation as in rotation barrier in ethane.
How typhoon is made?
typhoons form when the following conditions are met Their is a low pressure area The water is warm (around 80'F) the low pressure and warm water allow the water to evaporate and condense very rapidly and the earths spin causes the typhoon to spin. However this does not happen around the equator as the force of the earths rotation is not strong enough. This is a good thing as if it did not happen like this the areas there would have an endless hurricane season
What factor allow life to exist on earth?
some factors that allow life to existon earth is that earths atmosphere is just right.
How does carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere allow earth to support life?
I don't even know lol
What is the angle an object falls from?
if you let go of a stone and allow it to fall it will accelerate toward the earths centre of gravity
Can you listen to your Sirius Stiletto radio during flight?
No... pilots will not allow the use of any unessecary electronic devices during flight as it will interfere with the flight instruments
What is an anti-Gsuit?
A suit worn by pilots, used to counteract the effects of G Forces on the human body, by putting counter pressure at various points to keep blood flood even within the body. designed to allow pilots to experience high g forces without blacking out
