    1. The stratospheric airflow of the atmosphere is mainly caused by the rotation of the earth to flow in a specific direction, such as the earth is rotating from west to east, and the airflow in the atmosphere is flowing in the opposite direction, and the airliners are flying in the stratosphere, which has two situations: forward flight and reverse flight, if the plane flies from China to the United States through the Pacific Ocean, it will take longer than the same route from the United States to China. If from the direction of Europe it is the other way around.

    2. The rotation of the earth has a certain effect on the aircraft, but this can only be seen in long-distance flight. For example, if an airplane takes off from a certain place and flies due east to orbit the earth, and the same plane takes off from the same place and flies due west to orbit the earth, if the two flights have the same speed, then the time taken by the two flights must be different.

    In the same way, the time taken by an airplane to fly from the United States to China and China to the United States on the same route is also different.

    The reason for this phenomenon is due to the action of the Earth's gravitational field. So far, there has been no way to do similar tests to quantify them.

    It takes about 12-15 hours to fly from China to the United States.

    flight time and layover time.

    Taking the time of direct flights as an example, if you look at the flight time to key cities on the east and west coasts of the United States, it is approximately:

    West Coast: Beijing – Los Angeles: 12 hours direct flight.

    Shanghai - San Francisco: direct flight time 11 hours 30 minutes East Coast:

    Beijing-Washington: direct flight duration of about 14 hours.

    Shanghai – New York: direct flight time of about 15 hours.

    A plane from Beijing, China or Shanghai to the West Coast of the United States requires a minimum of 13 hours of flight.

    If you want to transfer to Los Angeles or San Francisco by United Airlines, the flight time is about 16 hours, and if you take Air China, you can transfer in Beijing and fly for about 14 hours.

    Most of them are Pacific routes.

    The main thing is to see which airline is flying to. For example, Japanese Airlines will stop in Japan, and Chinese Airlines will generally fly non-stop, but will first stop at the West Coast of the United States, such as Los Angeles.

    If some European airlines fly the other way around, they will go to Europe first and then fly to the United States, but it will take longer.

    So it's all up to which airline to decide, and each airline has the same line.

    Airlines from other countries have to stop in their home countries before continuing their flights.

    Roughly speaking, a non-stop flight from China to the United States takes about 12-15 hours. If you need to make a transfer, it will be counted separately. For example, the direct flight time is about 12 hours from Beijing to Los Angeles, about 11 hours and 30 minutes from Shanghai to San Francisco, about 14 hours from Beijing to Washington, and about 15 hours from Shanghai to New York.

    The distance from Beijing to the East Coast of the United States is about 11,172 kilometers, and the distance from the capital Shanghai and Guangzhou to the West Coast of the United States is about 9,600 to 9,900 kilometers.

    The flight time from China to the United States needs to be determined according to the departure point in China and the city where you arrive in the United States, and if you do not have a connection, the general flight will take 12-15 hours.

    If it is a European flight, it will fly from China to Europe first, and then from Europe to the United States, and the flight time will be longer. In general, the route is decided by the airline, and each airline has a uniform route. Content.

    It's about 12 to 15 hours.

    1. The main factor that determines the length of time at equal distance is the speed of the aircraft. The speed of the plane back and forth is not the same.

    2. The time difference, Beijing time is a few hours earlier than the time in the United States, even ** and Hawaii are different.

    3. Then it has to do with the deflection force of the earth, although it is in the same northern hemisphere, but the direction of the flight is opposite, the deflection force of the northern hemisphere is to the right, and it may be faster for the plane to fly from China to the United States than from the United States to China. ‍

    4. Took the line of change of the international period.
