Only if the earth is on a bilaterally retrograde plane to the rotation of the moon. This is more common in northern areas such as Scandinavia or the Hebrides. Bjork has written no fewer than three songs about horizontal gravity episodes, having experienced severe damage to her vocal cords while asleep as a child during one such episode.

Does peristalsis work against gravity?

Yes, peristalsis will work against gravity.


How does gravity affect object that are moving horizontally?

The force of gravity is the same, whether the object doesn't move at all, whether it moves horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or whatever. The force is about 9.8 newton/kilogram.Therefore, if no other forces act on the object, it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters/second squared - again, no matter how the object is moving at any given time. Under gravity (and assuming no other forces are significant - such as air resistance), an object that initially moves horizontally will have the tendency to move in a parabola.


Would it be easier or harder to throw a fastball in low gravity?

Assuming you can keep your feet on the ground, there should be no difference. Since the forces of gravity act vertically, they have no effect on things you're trying to do horizontally.


What does gravity do to the path of an object that is thrown horiziontally?

It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.


Which way do winds in high pressure systems move both horizontally and vertically?

A thermohaline current flows vertically as it is driven by gravity. In fluid dynamics, we call this kind of current a gravity current.


How would no air affect the motion of objects moving horizontally?

It depends on the surface on which the object is moving, and also any other forces - such as gravity.


How does gravity affect gravity?

It doesn't work like that. Gravity affects MASSES.
