Why wouldn’t the clouds move somewhere of the vincinty of 1,000 MPH? Does the atmosphere rotate with the Earth? At that high speed?

What is stopping us from experiencing 1,000 MPH winds each and every day?

Does the moon have a core like the earth? The earths core makes it almost impossible to study at minute anatomical scales does it not? Could we do this with the moon?
