Cool Picture. I think a meter is an easier way to test humidity, and certainly cheaper

So the question remains. Since the speed of sound is 742 MPH at 32 degrees F, and the effects of humidity are as pictured, is it better to assemble a guitar in the rear seat of an F-18 moving at mach 1 or in the basement of a three floor walk up on 97th Avenue in the heart of NYC? |

About 1000 MPH. But than so is everything else attached to the 3rd rock from the sun. |

In fact, if you're assembling it as you travel east over the Greenwich line, you'll have it finished yesterday. Isn't that how it works?

Carlton Said: In fact, if you're assembling it as you travel east over the Greenwich line, you'll have it finished yesterday. Isn't that how it works?
I've always suspected the rotation of the earth was responsible for a lot of things. Like me being a lot older than I use to be for one. Maybe Carlton is right... should have crossed that Greenwich line a few more times. Or is it a few less? All said and done those are really cool pictures! |

When I lived near San Fransisco, the Blue Angels would fly for my anaversary every October ( my wife and I got married during fleet week). I enjoyed watching the condensation from the vortices, but never got to see them break the speed of sound. Al |

No, sorry Hesh, according to those who "just know these things" the earth is spinning on its axes at about 1000 mph. Here's the basic answer found at NASA's web site. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour. Multiply by cosine of your latitude to see how fast the Earth is rotating where you are. Earth is also moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour. That's almost as fast as thay guy playing flight of the bumble bees. |
