Please Convince Me The Earth Is Moving And Not At The Center Of The Universe

How come we don't see cloud banding like we see on Jupiter? 

Or think about this... Felix Baumgartner on his world record free-fall jump reached 38,969m altitude and spent 2 and a half hours ascending, 4:19 minutes falling to the ground, and 7 minutes parachuting the rest of the way down. His distance from launch: 70.5k or 43.8 miles. How come he didn't land in the Pacific Ocean if the Earth was rotating West to East beneath him at such speed? 

...

i don't have the time to go through every single one of these and tell you how ignorant you are so i'll just touch this one.

get into a car and have a friend or whatever drive for you so you can conduct an experiment.   drive on the freeway or something were the car can get up to a high speed.   while sitting in the passanger seat and throw a ball (from your perspective) straight up into the air.

How come the ball does fly backwards and hit the rear windshield to reflect it's "stationary" position relative the the fast moving car below it?
