The atmosphere moves with the earth. That's why when you jump up in the air, you don't suddenly get slammed into a wall at 10,000 mph.

No it's not. The reason you don't get slammed into a wall is because you are moving the same speed as the earth is and continue to move that speed when you are in the air. Atmosphere has nothing to do with it.
