The atmosphere rotates with the Earth, pretty much.In fact, given that the prevailing winds are generally from the west, the atmosphere as a whole is probably rotating just a little FASTER than the Earth does.

∙ 14y agoYes, the atmosphere as a whole moves with the Earth.

∙ 13y agoYes. Otherwise, the wind would be 1000 miles per hour, and always to the west.

∙ 13y agoIf it didn't, then there would be places on earth with wind blowing 1,000 miles per hour !

Does the moon and earth rotate?
Yes. Both rotate or "scientifically" orbit.The Moon orbits The Earth and The Earth orbits The Sun. While orbiting The Earth The Moon also turns on its axis. While orbiting The Sun The Earth also turns on its axis.
Is the principle gas in the Venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmosphere of earth and Mars?
There is a bit of confusion here. The Main gas of the atmosphere of Venus, carbon dioxide, is also the main gas of the atmosphere of Mars. This gas is a minor component of Earth's atmosphere.
What is the principle gas in the vensusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmospheres of earth and mars?
There is no gas that fits this description. Carbon dioxide is about 95% of the Venusian atmosphere, but it's also about 95% of the atmosphere on Mars. Of course it's also a minor component of the atmosphere of the Earth too.
Where is helium most common found?
helium is a gas and is found only in the earth's atmosphere
What heats up the atmosphere here?
By here I presume you mean earth, the sun heats the atmosphere directly, but also heats objects which in turn also give off heat to the atmosphere
Why cant you feel earth rotate?
The air around us rotates with the Earth and we also rotate with the Earth at the same rate. There is literally nothing to feel.
Does the moon and earth rotate?
Yes. Both rotate or "scientifically" orbit.The Moon orbits The Earth and The Earth orbits The Sun. While orbiting The Earth The Moon also turns on its axis. While orbiting The Sun The Earth also turns on its axis.
Does earth and the moon have an atmosphere?
Obviously the Earth has an atmosphere, and the moon also has one, although it is weaker and does not contain oxygen.
What is the major difference between mars atmosphere and Earth atmosphere?
Mars's atmosphere is thinner than Earth's atmosphere, Earth's atmosphere is also mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen, while Mars' is mostly Carbon Dioxide. Mars also doesn't have an ozone layer to protect it from ultra-violet rays.
Does the earth and moon have atmosphere?
Obviously the Earth has an atmosphere, and the moon also has one, although it is weaker and does not contain oxygen.
How long does it take fo the earth to rotate around the sun?
It takes the earth 365 days to rotate around the sun.365 days also means 1 year.

Which gas in Earth's atmosphere suggests that there is life on Earth?
The gas in earths atmosphere that suggests that there is life on Earth is oxygen. However carbon dioxide also shows that there is life on Earth.
How does earth atmosphere make conditions on earth on suitable for living things?
REASON ONE: ATMOSPHERE Earth has a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that is required for the life of most creatures. This is present in Earth's atmosphere, along with nitrogen, and in water, along with hydrogen. Oxygen is constantly put into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Fortunately, Earth's atmosphere does not contain much carbon dioxide, a poisonous gas which makes up most of the atmosphere of planets like Venus and Mars. In densely-populated areas, carbon dioxide is more present. This is because cars and factories produce it. This causes the air to be polluted. The Earth's atmosphere is kept on the planet by its pull of gravity. Mars and Mercury are too small to keep atmosphere. As a result, Mercury has no atmosphere, and Mars' atmosphere is very thin, containing gases which have not managed to escape into space yet. Earth's atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting through it (this is what has happened on Mars).
What is the atmosphere viewed from earth and is also a girl's name?
Sky
Do any of the planet have oxygen in their atmosphere?
Yes. There is one planet with oxygen in its atmosphere: our home planet Earth.
