Best Answer

The equatorial diameter of the earth is 12,755.66 km.

Circumference = (pi) x (diameter)

Time to circumnavigate the globe on the equator (in either direction)

at 1,000 km/hr = (pi) x (12,755.66) / 1,000 =

40hrs 4min 23.1sec(rounded)

If a plane flies in a constant speed of 1000 KM eastbound from point A on the equator how much time will it take to reach point A?

40.07516 hours length of equator=40075.16km so divide that by the speed of the plane p.s. did u mean 1000km per hour?


If a pilot flies an airplane eastbound into a jet stream what will she experience?

A jet stream is a region of strong winds high in the atmosphere where planes fly. If she flies a plane into this region, the plane will be accelerated. This will allow her to either fly faster, or fly at the same speed using less fuel.


When a plane flies from Australia to Mexico will it pass the equator?

Correct. Mexico is on the Northern Hemisphere, while Australia is on the Southern Hemisphere. Any trip from one country to the other will invariably pass through the Equator.

What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?

No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".


Is the equator tilted on earth?

The equator makes an angle of roughly 23.5 degrees with the ecliptic plane.
