Boru

When I was in primary school, the teacher asked us how we know the earth rotated.
I'm assuming she was hoping we'd say "because day and night" but I said because what you said.

I told her because when the earth spins the clouds try to keep up but they never do, which is why we always see clouds moving ever so slowly.

No idea if it was bullshit, but I still remember the glazed look in her eyes. She couldn't agree or disagree.
I'm 56 yo now and I still don't know the answer Dunno   oh look, a squirrel blue tongue lizard!

Clouds don't move along the direction of rotation except by accident. And they don't "move" like you propose, they would be traveling at ~1,000 mph at the equator if that were true.
