It would appear to fly east based on the Coriolis effect.

Does the moon revolve above earth's equator?
Close, but no. The moon's orbit is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit (the ecliptic plane) by about 5.1° . That's the same plane to which the Earth's equator is inclined by about 23.5° degrees ... causing the seasons and all that. If the moon orbited above Earth's equator, then it would always appear the same distance above the horizon as it passed its peak, south of your house (in the northern hemisphere). But you've probably noticed how the moon can appear really high on Winter nights, and really low on Summer nights.
Is equator the orbit?
No. The equator is tilted about 23.5° from the plane of the Earth's orbit.
What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
What is the total number of degress north and south of the Equator?
There is 180 degrees of separation, from 90 degrees north (North Pole) to 90 degrees south (South Pole). The North and South Pole are points (the geographic ends of the Earth's axis) and are on all planes perpendicular to the equatorial plane.
Does latitude have to be measured straight north or south from the equator?
It does. It is the plane angle, measured at the centre of the earth, between the given position and the equator due south or north of that position. The third dimention is not necessary until longitude is added.
Do planes look like they are flying backwards when viewed from space?
It depends on the angle. From a plane flying past another plane at a higher speed, it can appear that the slower plane is flying backward, tail-first.
What splits the sky in two from north to south?
There is an imaginary plane through the Earth that splits the world into "north" and "south". The circle around the Earth where that plane meets the Earth's surface is called the "equator". In astronomy, we extend that plane into space; this is the "celestial equator". With geography on the Earth, we measure this in latitude north or south of the equator. In astronomy, we call it "declination", but it's the same idea.
What is the maximum number of degrees you can go south of the equator?
You can only travel 90 degrees north, which is the North Pole. The poles are in a plane (all planes) perpendicular to the equator.
Can you see a plane flying over the Tropic of Cancer from the North Pole if you can see down to the Equator?
If you're at the North Pole, then you can easily see a plane flying over the Tropic of Cancer. However, if your eye is on the ground at the pole, then the plane has to be flying at 5,971 miles above the Tropic of Cancer. Obviously, if you can get up in the air above the pole, then the plane doesn't have to be so high above the Tropic of Cancer in order for you to see it. If you can rent a big fancy balloon and rise, let's say, 667 miles (3.52 million feet) above ground at the pole, then you can see the plane when he's only at that same modest altitude above the Tropic of Cancer. Short Answer: for all practical purposes, one cannot see a plane at the Tropic of Cancer from the North Pole with the naked eye, and not even with a well-clothed eye if the plane's altitude is insufficient.

When was flying in a plane open to public?
Flying in a plane has always been open to the public.
If a plane was flying across the world and crashed in North America where would you bury the survivers?
you dont bury survivers
What does the term equatorial mean?
Relation to, on or in proximity to the equator or the plane of the equator.
Is equator the orbit?
No. The equator is tilted about 23.5° from the plane of the Earth's orbit.
What is equatorial?
a equatorial isof, relating to, or located at the equator or an equator;also being in the plane of the equator
How do you get the map to fly on the plane?
There is not a map for flying on the plane
Does the F22 plane have trouble flying in rain?
No plane has trouble flying in the rain.Only the smallest like cessna may have trouble flying in the rain.
