Gary -- You and I know the earth is NOT moving. And do you really think
that if the earth were turning at 1,000 mph that the clouds and atomosphere
would be peacefully hanging above us? The atmosphere gets thinner and
thinner as it gets farther out, with less and less gravity holding it. How
can it be that there is no disturbance when the sun can't even keep itself
together to turn as a unit as it rotates and its (the sun's) gravitational
force is much greater than that of the Earth's?
Marshall Hall is the one who first pointed this out in his website. I don't
know anything about the physics, but it strikes me as making perfect common
sense.

> Cheryl,
> I believe the simple answer to your atmosphere question is Newton's first
law. At least that's what the "Astronomer" was spelling out, I think. The
outer edge of the atmosphere, once spinning, receives no drag from space and
therefore maintains the speed originally imparted to it by the turning earth
below. How the air turns with the earth and yet has its various swirling
currents within the "whole" of the atmosphere rotating in sync with the
earth brings me back to an old headache I'd rather not think about any more
tonight. But that's the gist of the BA position.

atmosphere if the earth does move (as Bob Davidson has recently stated a few
times)? Don't the movements of the earth--not that I am believing they are
real, mind you--cause a noticeable effect in the air? I still think that
because we didn't see any noticeable change in winds where I live due to it,
the big earthquake/tsunami in the Indian Ocean must not have really moved
the earth.
