The plane is slowed by retarding the throttles, raising the nose, or deploying the speedbrakes.
yes although only for a moment, its called a stall
The air arround Earth has usually the same speed as the rotating Earth itself. That is much different to camparing that with a ship on a river, where you move much faster to the sea by the water stream than to the well-spring of the river.
The air is pretty much stationary with regards to the surface of the planet. The aeroplane, by controlling its speed through the air, has no trouble mainating a reference with the ground.
Aeroplane means a vehicle with wings which flies through the air.
Swallowing helps to equalize the air pressure ( popping ) in your ears.

Ground speed is of more concern to a passenger. If you have an air speed of 100 miles per hour and you're flying into a 100-mile-per-hour head wind, you're standing still with respect to the ground.
An aeroplane heading into a head wind will use up more fuel, than when flying down wind.
An aeroplane is a means of air transport.
The occupants require it.
Yes, if the plane was flying into the wind at the same speed as the wind. A 747 has a cruising speed of about 570mph which would mean the wind would also have to be moving at 570mph.
The root word for "aeroplane" is "aero," which comes from the Greek word "āēr" meaning "air" or "atmosphere."
