Like the spinning ice skater pulling in her arms,
|
|
|
the air will try to rotate faster as it moves in
towards the axis
|
|
|
|

If the air rotates faster than the planet, as seen
from the planet
|
|
the air will appear to drift east.

Someone on the planet who didn’t know about rotation
would think
|
|
a mysterious
force was making the air curve to its right.
