Sydney to Perth
Flying from Sydney to Perth takes less time than the return trip,why?
At the Equator Earth spins anti clockwise at the speed of 1,667 ks an hour, this rotational speed get less and less the closer south you are, until at the pole it falls to nothing. This of course means that as you fly from Sydney toward Perth, Perth travels towards you making the trip shorter. How much of a role does the Jet Stream play?
I can't find anything concrete on the web about the Jet Stream over NSW.
Is the Jet stream always in the same place or does its change position in the sky?
