Gravity. And, we are moving right along with the surface.
If the Earth were to stop rotating, the value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) would remain approximately the same at the Earth's surface. The rotation of the Earth does not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced on the surface.
It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
If only 1 side of earth faces the Sun, then that part will stay
Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

That is called a tornado. It is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud.
The day/night cycle results from the Earth rotating.
The gravity around the earth holds the water in place
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere stay close to the surface due to the force of gravity acting on them. Gravity pulls the gases towards the center of the planet, keeping them from escaping into space. The mass of the Earth is sufficient to maintain an atmosphere that surrounds the planet.
Gravity attracts things toward the core, or centre, of the Earth, that's how everything is able to stay on the surface.
no, it's the Earth that is constantly rotating around the Sun
