What impact does the curvature of the Earth have on the flight path of a plane?
The curvature of the Earth affects the flight path of a plane by causing it to follow a curved trajectory rather than a straight line. Pilots must account for this curvature when planning routes to ensure efficient and safe travel.

How does the curvature of the Earth affect the time in the air and the range of a missile?
The force of the curvature of the Earth, along with gravity is known as the Coriolis effect. How this would effect any long range projectile (bullets, missiles, etc.) is that it will change the path of flight. Meaning, that gravity will slowly pull the projectile down onto the surface. While the downward pull isn't at dramatic as it is for the missile (due to its constant propulsion), the curvature of the earth is VERY important. This is because you have to take in the total distance the missile is to travel in order to his its intended target. The curvature of the Earth (if the target is far enough) will not only obstruct the line of sight (especially if the target is say in another country, or a few miles away), shooting straight would be out of the question. All this, due to the curvature, this, in turn, requires missiles to be shot up, and then come down onto the target in a pyramid shape... hope this helps... oh, and to actually answer your question. The curvature of the Earth changes the time of flight on a missile because it forces us to launch the missile upwards first, then downwards. The flight path of a missile is, therefore, increased.

A picture of earths orbital path?
elliptical.
How does the concept of spacetime curvature in general relativity influence the orbital path of a planet?
In general relativity, spacetime curvature affects the orbital path of a planet by causing it to follow a curved trajectory around a massive object like a star. This curvature is due to the presence of mass and energy, which warp the fabric of spacetime, influencing how objects move through it.
Is earths orbit a path around the sun?
Yes.
Why is the ray passing through centre of curvature reflects along the same path?
When a ray of light passes through the center of curvature of a concave mirror, it reflects back along the same path because the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is a property of mirrors where the reflected ray follows the law of reflection, resulting in the ray retracing its original path.
