We agree that any object that is travelling faster than the speed of sound in air (330m/s) creates a shock wave that causes an explosive noise called a sonic boom. I just calculated that some points on the Earth's surface travel faster than the speed of sound when it rotates about its axis (e.g places on the equator move at about 460 m/s when the earth rotates) but there is no sonic boom. When the earth revolves along its orbit which has a circumference of about 942000000 km it travels at about 29870 m/s (which is way more than the speed of sound 330 m/s) but we don't hear any explosive noise or sonic boom. Can someone please explain why these events doesn't cause a sonic boom?
