What is the shortest route between Mississippi and japan? -

The shortest direct route (as by flying) is 6757 miles (10,875 km).From Japan it goes NE staying near the east coast, and crosses Alaska in two places: at the north end of the Aleutian Islands about ten miles south of the mainland, and the southernmost leg very near Ketchikan.The path is nearly NW-SE, and crosses back into the U.S. between Great Falls, Montana and Lethbridge, Alberta. It crosses Wyoming, NE Colorado, western Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

If you are asking about air travel, there are no non-stop or direct flights from Mississippi to anywhere in Japan so you have to change planes somewhere. For example, you can fly from Jackson (JAN) to Atlanta (ATL), change planes, and fly non-stop from Atlanta to Tokyo (NRT). The trip takes about 17 1/2 hours, counting the time between flights in Atlanta.www.delta.com

Lol! Are you seriously joking right now?

Why do the New York Jets call plays according to color? -

If you mean the audible calls you hear when watching on TV, It s not just the Jets, plenty of teams use colors in audibles. Often the color, which is given first, is actually what signifies whether it s a real audible -- the quarterback is actually changing the play from what was called in the huddle -- or just a fake to confuse the defense. There s usually a weekly live color, though if necessary it can be changed at any time.There are also systems that use colors in regular play calling, the play calls that are made in the huddle that you won t hear. A particular color may be used for any play that includes a play-action pass, for example. So a simple play call like split right 31 dive, X zip might become green split right 31 dive, X zip, which would mean that the dive is actually a fake; the quarterback will be looking to pass.

So they can get through the red zone.
