An intuitive gravity analogy that explains why the moon orbits the Earth is, the Earth's mass' effect on space creates a 'dip' that the moon circles around in a frictionless orbit, kind of like like a marble in a bowl. Am I understanding this right? If so, I am confused about something. If I drop something out of my hand, it hits the earth. The 'bowl' shouldn't be anywhere near my hand... at least it's not in the pictures that I've seen, that try to explain gravity. What up with that?
Thanks
