>>12035897Gravity is a constant vector of "pull" on the balloon. It always pulls to the center of the earth . Thus geocentric rotation will occurr. The position of launch determines the centering point. Gravity creates an illusion of stationary objects in realtive space. When you are sitting, you feel "still" or un moving. However, via different perspective, you're actually hurtling through "space" at like 600000 miles per hour or some shit., Depending on your measurement Perspective. Gravity bends space too. So, when your balloon is "floating", it's actually just bouyant in the atmospheric gasses, this frictional coefficient coupled with gravitational force in a consistent vector promotes the geocentric rotation if the earth and balloon as 1 object..
