If a bullet is fired in outer space, however, it will be generally free from any external influences of celestial bodies; hence, the bullet will move in a straight line (and at constant speed) until it enters the gravitational field of a planet, star, or large asteroid, at which point its path will be deflected.
Here's a question for you; Would there be any oxygen to ignite the primer on the bullet to make the bullet explode?
Trajectory
The motion of a body along a path around some point in space is called circular motion. This type of motion involves the body moving in a circular path with a constant speed. The centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle, keeping the body in its circular path.

Planets travel in space along an invisible path called their orbital trajectory. This path is determined by the gravitational pull of the star they are orbiting, causing them to move in an elliptical path. The planets follow these orbital trajectories as they revolve around the star in their respective orbits.
An orbit is the curved path followed by an object around a central body in space due to their gravitational interaction. It is the trajectory that an object, such as a planet or satellite, follows as it revolves around another object.
It's called a trajectory.
Trajectory.
The flight of a bullet is the path it follows after being fired from a firearm. This path is influenced by factors such as gravity, air resistance, wind speed, and the angle at which the gun is fired. Bullets typically travel in a parabolic trajectory, rising and then falling as they move towards the target.
Yes, bullets do spin when they are fired. This spinning motion, known as rifling, helps stabilize the bullet's flight path and improve accuracy.
Gravity will cause a fired bullet to decelerate as it travels through the air, pulling it down towards the ground and affecting its trajectory. The velocity of the bullet decreases over time due to the downward force of gravity, causing it to follow a curved path rather than a straight line.
The path is close to a parabola.
Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
They hit at almost exactly the same time. Just because the bullet from the gun is moving horizontally at high speed, this does not mean it escapes the pull of gravity. However, the direction of the fired bullet is "horizontal" (perpendicular to the vertical pull of gravity). This vector is very slightly tangential to the force of gravity, because the Earth is curved. So although the bullet path describes an arc, it is very, very slightly above the curvature of the Earth. The difference for this case would be practically immeasurable. However, for faster projectiles it would be proportionally larger.
There are spiral grooves engraved on the inside of a rilfe or pistol barrel. When a bullet is fired, it is forced into those grooves, which impart a spin to the bullet. The grooves are called rifling.
If a gun was parallel with the earth and was fired and at that very instant someone standing by the barrel dropped a bullet from beside the barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time. Bullets start falling the instant they leave the end of the gun barrel. That is why hunters hold their rifles at an upward angle. It looks like the bullet will shoot up into the sky. The bullet will follow a curved path toward its target.
Simple answer, it makes a hole and the blood all comes out the hole. More detailed answer, a fired bullet carries a lot of energy, destroys tissues and structures along its path and causes traumatic injury.
No, magnets cannot stop a bullet. Magnets do not have the ability to deflect or stop a bullet in its path.
