Depending on where you live on earth, you are spinning at about 1600 km/h. In space/time The same goes for everything else on earth. Depending on how far away you are from the target, from the time you pull the trigger to the time the bullet impacts, the target will have moved a certain distance in space/time. If you aim directly at the target, for a long distance shot, you will miss the shot because the target is no longer in that space/time. Clear as mud?
