The brain is trained to process speeds towards the environment, e.g. an animal against a (immobile) background. When it comes to higher speeds, it is increasingly difficult for man to judge the speed. For example, it is not possible to say whether the car is on the road at 120 or 160 km/h if you are on the highway. The brain then takes the size of the object to better appreciate. You know from his experience: truck, highway 80-100km/h. If there is still a reference for the size of the object and the distance from the viewer (and in the case of clouds this is not so easy), the brain can only estimate speeds very badly.

because there are enormous winds blowing up and are actually incredibly fast on the road, it only looks so slow…

The relative speed to a body is more difficult to perceive with increasing distance. Sun, moon and stars you don’t see passing by the plane, mountains and rivers on the near ground. And if the cloud is so close that you flee through, you will see even fog anyway.

Ad hoc, I would say that this is a deception because your eye in the White Wirr Warr does not find any focus and thus cannot isolate any structures where you can see a travel speed.

I’ve never flew, but that can be logically explained: either the cloud is far away, then it just moves slowly. The farther away, the slower it moves past you, at least it looks like this:D
and the other possibility: The cloud is RIESIG xD Then, despite 700 km/h, it looks as if it were only slowly approaching ^^
I hope that could answer your question 😀

If you’d fly through space at speed of light, you’d be slow. The galaxies are also some clouds.

Not only that, because as large as you can see the clouds from the vicinity, the distances between the stars and the planets are all alone.

Partially true. At the start of the sun with c one would see the earth disappear very quickly and then the sun will become excessive within 8 minutes. Since the resolution of the human eye is about 1 arc minute (0.3*10 exp(-3)), the sun would be seen to be changed every 50’000 km, i.e. every 1/6 sec, i.e. like a slow film.

well it’s shaking easily in the clouds. if you would fly faster it would be very shaking and people would be bad and the balance of the flyer would no longer be in the lot…
that is my guess 😀

How to use a plane by a cloud flies, you don’t see much more on the window.
