The ballistic motion of a projectile in the gravitational field of the rotating Earth is considered. The deflection of the projectile from its azimuthol line of fire due to the rotation of the Earth is estimated by determining its three-dimensional trajectory from a set of three coupled equations of motion. The assumptions leading to this set of trajectory equations are itemized and interpreted. Conditions for the rightward and leftward deflection of the projectile are derived and compared to a recently published result. A straightforward physical interpretation of both leftward and rightward deflections is given.
