No and yes. Globe is spinning, therefore “moving”. Same principle as when I hold a rope with something heavy on the bottom and I spin, my hand is moving around my axis and the object on the rope is also spinning but fixed to my hand holding the rope. That’s how I learned it, what’s the counter argument?

I was always told that in an enclosed system like on earth, you wouldn't feel or experience the rotation, much like throwing something in a car maintains momentum of the direction of motion. It makes sense and we can all observe and replicate the claim.

So why are we then also told planes and snipers have to make corrections for rotation when they are in the enclosed system?
