u can throw a ball as far as u want. it just depends on how hard u throw it!

An astronaut throws a ball on the moon you throw an identical ball on earth using the same force which ball will travel a greater distance before it hits the ground?
the one on the moon will go farther due to the lack of air resistance and gravity.
Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to Earth because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity?
No! They are in orbit because of earth's gravity. If they were beyond the pull of earth's gravity, they would fly off and never return. Everything that is in orbit around earth is falling towards earth. Their orbital velocity is great enough so that it compensates for the downward pull.When you throw a ball it falls in a curve. Throw it harder and the ball will fall farther away but will still fall along a curve. Throw it as hard as possible and it will still follow a curved path and eventually land. Gravity causes it to fall along a curve. Now imagine throwing a ball SO HARD that it returns to you from the opposite direction. Gravity has been pulling on it causing it to move along a curved path, but its velocity sends it around earth in an orbit.
How big is canus majoris compared to earth?
Canus Majoris is large enough to contain 4Quadrillion Earth's or if Earth were a golf ball Canus Majoris would be Mt.Everest.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
If an astronaut hit a golf ball on the moon What would happen and why?
It would move and go 6 times as farther than on the moon due to the gravity of the moon being 1/6 of Earth's gravity.
Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?
Because of the air resistant

Do people usually throw a softball baseball or a tennis ball farther?
easily a baseball, try it.
Why does a ball fall to Earth when you throw it up in the air?
gravity
When you throw a basketball up in the air where does the gravitational pull of Earth affect it the most?
The gravitational pull affects it more or less uniformly. There are very, very slight differences caused by the height of the throw and the width of the ball but, compared to the distance from the centre of the earth, these distances are tiny and so have no effect.
How do you use the word further in a sentence?
Further is used when referring to degree of change where farther is referring to distance. I can throw a ball farther than you or further my pitching skills with practice.
When you throw a ball it goes up then goes down why?
The force of gravity pulls it back down to Earth.
Does the different type of football affect how far it goes?
Yes, because if it is a small ball then you can grip it better therefore allowing you to throw it farther. If it is a college or high school ball you must have big hands to throw it a decent distance.
Why does a tennis ball go far if you throw it?
When you throw the tennis ball, it flies for a distance before dropping down because when you throw the tennis ball, you use force, which is transferred to the tennis ball, which then converts to kinetic energy (movement energy), to allow the tennis ball to go far.

What will be different for the ball thrown on the moon compared to a ball thrown the same way on earth?
the distance it travels before falling to the ground
