The air is moving with the earth and the air that's forced downward by the propellers pushes against that air (and also the ground at first).

@TBIman if you have a sensitive enough scale you can weigh an empty basketball and then weigh it again gully inflated. The full basketball weighs more. Air has weight, hence mass.
Even easier, you can demonstrate the mass of air by standing in a breeze. If you feel these air molecules hitting you it’s because what’s hitting you has mass.

@redredred I am not disagreeing with anything in this comment. Does anything in your comment PROVE that we live on a gigantic ball that spins? I like you because you refrain from name-calling.
Look man, I just want to know where I live before I die. This should be everyone's goal. The problem is that we are all taught that we live on a gigantic ball with absolutely no physical evidence to back up that claim.
