Does the earth’s atmosphere rotate with the earth or does it stand still?
Answers
Answer:
Bound to the Earth by gravity, most of the atmosphere spins along with it as a result of friction with the ground and the viscosity or 'stickiness' of the different layers of air above it. Above 200km, however, the incredibly thin atmosphere actually spins faster than the Earth.
Answer:The atmosphere around the Earth rotates with the Earth. Everything on the ground, in the water, or in the air also rotates - with the Earth - at the same speed as the Earth. ... west-east are the prevalent winds caused by coriolis effect which in turn arises because of the Earth's rotation.
Explanation:Earth is moving at a fixed rate, and we're all moving along with it, and that's why we don't feel Earth's spin. If Earth's spin were suddenly to speed up or slow down, you would definitely feel it
The Earth is spinning at about 1,100 miles per hour at the equator. If the Earth were to stop abruptly, the momentum of the spinning atmosphere would keep it going. This means that you and everything on Earth would feel an 1,100 miles per hour wind. An 1,100 mph wind would be the end of it for everything
