the difference between the moon orbiting and a meteor hitting? the direction of the orbit?
or anything coming close to a "body" like the Earth would have its direction altered by gravity? or its direction/course is what led it into a atmospheric entry?
and how does this relate to when...
falling objects and gravity?
i need help understanding...im under the impression that even though the moon orbits the earth, and the Earth the sun, that the moon is falling towards the earth, and the Earth ius falling towards the sun...im confused? if it orbits, then how is it falling? any...
