Incorrect. Anything that moves over the surface of any rotating planet is subject to the coriolis effect. Over tiny distances, this is negligible. However, over intercontinental distances, the coriolis effect is very real and needs to be accounted for. ICBMs & aircraft, for example, can correct for this; hurricanes can't, which is one reason why they always turn right (N hemisphere).
Consider 2 observers: one is standing on the equator at sea level, facing east; the other is down a deep, narrow well at a true pole. The former senses only orbital motion; the latter senses only spin. Therefore, as anything moves from the equator towards a pole, the component of orbital motion reduces and the component of spin increases, according to latitude.
None of this is true. It is what's taught, however.
No flying objects; planes, helicopters, blimps or even bullets are affected one iota by coriolis. You would know why this is - coriolis is supposedly how winds are affected by not being attached directly to the spinning-ball-earth.
Which makes absolute sense. You aren't affected by the current of a river if you're not actually in the river. How then, does a plane that takes off in Alaska gain the necessary speed to land in southern California? It doesn't gain any speed, as it doesn't need to. The earth is not spinning underneath the plane. Empirical measurements agree with that.
Hot air balloons don't land 400 miles west of their take-off point for the same reason.
You mention two people sensing certain motion. Earth spins at over 1000mph. It orbits the sun at 67,000mph. It is pulled by the sun through space at nearly 500,000mph. And finally, our galaxy is moving at something like 4,000,000mph? And yet, we 'sense' none of that motion.

Hope this helps.
Just to add, aircraft account for curvature by flying at chosen pressure altitudes. Gravity never lies.
This works in exactly the same way if the earth is a flat plane.

Strange.
Wevs.
There's no arguing with a moron, sloganising with incorrect bullshit.
What does the phrase "round-the-world yachtsman" mean to you?
Don't bother replying. Stay smug. I hope you get the attention your special needs deserve.
No explanation, I understand. There isn't an explanation. The smugness might be a reflection.
My god youre gullible
