Reply to comment by Alternative_Bar_6441 in ELI5 Why when we jump in the air the earth doesnt move by Alternative_Bar_6441

If you are moving fowards and jumping, what would slow you down? Air resistance. But in the case of you jumping with the earth, the air is moving forwards with you overall. So you keep moving at the same speed as the earth.
