the earth doesn't rotate,
when you travel by plane from East to West or from West to East, you will spend the same time, if the earth was really turning around itself, travelling from East to West would be much shorter, actually it's not the case ! The cosmonaut goes up for a while and returns back to earth ( in the same place, the same continent, the same country ) why ? I have never seen a space shuttle deviating in the sky so as to recover its home country !!! have you ? " god is the one who made the earth stationary for you ... " An Naml verse 61 - The Holy Quran
