Make Suns implode after 7billion years or whatever life-span. I'll set my DVD recorder timer to remember it by.
You can notice cellestrial bodies moving when you plot a route and try to fly directly to them and end up adjusting your course near to them.

Some planet don't have that rotation. Example: Planet with Asteroid Belt - RES point.

All the planets have their rotation enabled, the thing is some planets take 48 or more hours to rotate, and remember this is in realtime, so unless you are sitting infront of a planet for more than 4-6 hours at a time you will not see it happening.

Disagree.
When you sit in your chair and watch cloudy sky, you can clearly see Earth rotation :)
This is real time movement and for 24h of rotation you can still see that.

uhhhhhm - what?

Are you saying that the clouds stay still whilst the earth rotates ?

A quick google:
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.

I'm pretty sure that the clouds apparent movement is not 'just over 1000miles per hour'
They are not 'standing still' relative to the earth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect

A commonly encountered rotating reference frame is the Earth. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. Because the Earth completes only one rotation per day, the Coriolis force is quite small, and its effects generally become noticeable only for motions occurring over large distances and long periods of time, such as large-scale movement of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean. Such motions are constrained by the surface of the earth, so only the horizontal component of the Coriolis force is generally important.

I barely passed science and I understood this. It's saying nothing about other planet's rotation either as some take year's to rotate just 1 time which would be 1 day on that particular planet. In short you are wrong DjordjeDtW.

Yes, i realized that i'm and where i'm wrong.
Cloud movement is that wrong example.
Better example is: Sun, Day - Night.

I don't speak about planetary rotation around the Star.
Here is different example: Sun movement across the clear sky. Earth is fixed in Universe, Sun is in movement around the Earth? All celestial object are in movement around her, or this is Earth in rotation around herself? :)

I suppose it's a relatively safe bet you believe the earth is flat too? With your post here I wouldn't be surprised. Some people will believe anything, and if you really believe this then you're one of them. :)
