Reply to comment by JoyGodLives in ELI5 if a plane flew really high then hovered for 24hrs, would it rotate with the earth, or would it be able to watch the land rotate? by JoyGodLives

Look at non-stop flights from Tokyo to Chicago (I've taken this flight a few times). Note the local departure and arrival times. The plane arrives in Chicago before it leaves Tokyo.
