I tried to find the answer to this in the wiki, but I guess I didn't word my search well enough. Here's my question:
Does the accelerating earth push against the atmosplane (air), or is the air also being accelerated?
If the former is the case, then the air would be pushed towards the edges of the earth, and that clearly is not happening. How does it all work? If there is a wiki page for this, then please just point me to it and I'll try to figure it out on my own. Thanks.
