how is the atmosphere keeping up with the rotational velocity of the
spinning earth? This would neccesarily mean the same angular velocity but a
greater linear velocity at, say 100km above solid earth. Again though,
that's assuming the earth/atmosphere 'system' is 1 frame of reference (not
2 separate).
-Gaseous atmosphere, where we know gases are definitionally unbonded
molecules
How is conservation of momentum 'transferring' through scores of miles of
gas?
