No. Given that the law of conservation of angular momentum does not apply to gases and therefore earth’s atmosphere does not get a free ride along with the earth as it rotates, there must therefore be a transference of kinetic energy into the atmosphere that is sufficient to keep the 5 quadrillion tons of atmospheric gases in motion. Where would this energy come from? If you say it is inertial motion, then can you demonstrate that between the terrain of rotating earth and the atmosphere there is no friction converting that rotational kinetic energy into thermal energy?
