The assumption of rotation of the earth results in the simplest explanation

for each of the following:

-- Coriolis effect (rotation of high- and low-pressure weather systems)

-- apparent east-to-west motion of every astronomical object; sun, moon, planets, stars, etc.

-- rotation of the Foucault pendulum

-- intensity of meteor showers after local midnight vs. before local midnight
