I can see the effects of the CF, but what is confusing me is that it is referred to as an "apparent force" .

English is not my first language, but doesn't this mean that it is not actually a real force - its just the way we see it from our reference point. Since we can clearly see the effects of the CF - isn't it a real force then?
