No because the apple has already been accelerated to the velocity of the earth. For example, consider this sane thought except a passenger in a moving vehicle- the apple will not fly backwards if dropped.
A vehicle is an enclosed environment not subject to velocity while travelling inside the vehicle. Unless of course you’re in a convertible, like the earth with no roof or windows. Earth being a convertible, there is no way it is moving. You cant have a gas barrier around your convertible that keeps the environment out.
Point me to the specific part of your link that explains how earths atmosphere is maintained against the vacuum of space without a hard barrier to separate
It’s called gravity genius. And that link is about the atmosphere being dragged by the earths rotation (no-slip boundary layer fluid dynamics), nothing to do with the force of gravity overcoming the other forces acting on particles of gas which make up the atmosphere (thus “holding in” the atmosphere without some kind of firmament or whatever it is you’re suggesting here). Two different concepts.

That’s incorrect:

Are you a shill?
