third grade definition warning: Energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared. This means that mass (like a hydrogen atom) X 299,792,458 m/s = the amount of energy in the atom. The chair you are sitting on (if you happen to be seated) has tremendous energy stored in it. The trick is trying to get it back out.
The atmosphere rotates with the planet. Kind of like the air in a car when you drive. Clouds are not dense, and they are very spread out. The terminal velocity of the tiny water droplets of water vapor is very low, allowing it to generally move with the atmosphere.
Anyone who has ever laid on their back and watched the clouds know that they dissipate, change and reform due to atmospheric winds.
How this would differ on a flat earth is scientifically mystifying.
