Doesn't leaving the planet mean removing yourself from the atmosphere usually?
I think you technically leave a planet when you're outside of its gravitational field.... But you'll be going a long way for that.
Either way, you'd have to jump pretty high |

"One thing I don't understand is how if I jump while I'm on a moving train why do I not land further down the carriage and yes... I've tested it!"
taoist is usually the one that knows that kind of thing well he thinks He does..  |

"I ask because of something Acewinger said in a thread 8 weeks ago.
If I jump into the air, can I honestly say I've left this planet? "
You definitely left Brighton. |

It's because the air inside the train is moving at the same speed 
It is, of course, completely different when the Windows are open and new air gets it. |

I'm sure it's probably something to do with the velocity of the train causing things in its wake to move forward with it but I don't know |

Well of course, if you are already moving at 100 mph, then leaving the carriage floor for a few seconds is hardly going to bring you to a halt immediately. You'll probably land a few millimetres behind where you actually jumped up  |

Unless one jumps forwards or back. Or jump up and leave the planet. |

In effect then, you leave the planet every time you get in a car, train, on a bike etc |

I think you might have left the planet at least once in your life, maybe more than once. |

Gravitational field of the earth extends infinitey. So that be quite a big jump for mankind.

"It's better when you walk up inside a plane. Each step is huge at ground level  "
In a plane at 300 mph a one second stroke if your shaft is about 500 feet which would be enough for most women. Incidenatally this is independant of the length of your willy.

"Hands up if you're going to try and jump next time you're on a moving train now...  "
Now that's just wide open to comments about putting hands places that make you jump when you're on a train  |

Yes, gravity is a constant that has influence everywhere in the universe at varying degrees, so it is impossible to escape until you can escape the universe |

You e left contact with the planets solid surface, you are still it hin it's atmosphere and you are still bound by its gravity |

Gravity follows the inverse square law so becomes negligible very quickly |

It's much more fun when you discuss what happens when you do something similar on an aeroplane though  |

Gravity has nothing to do with the inlaws and does not turn into a negligee.
