How is the Moon's orbit around the earth related to an APPLE falling from a tree?

Answer 1

The moon's orbit around planet Earth is related to an apple falling from a tree
because when an apple falls from a tree, it spins as it goes down to the ground.
That apple has fallen from a branch which launches it off to the ground giving it
energy. As it spins, the energy is still alive in it and once it stops spinning and hits
the floor, it will bounce and then that energy will be gone. The moon's orbit is
similar to that because the moon orbits around the Earth. The Earth is the branch
which is the reason why the moon orbits around the Earth. That's why we have
morning and night of course. So the Earth is the moon's branch and so the moon is
"falling" and spinning as it goes down. The moon revolves around the Earth and it
spins on its axis. That is how the moon's orbit around Earth is related to an apple
falling from a tree.

Answer #2:

One is tempted to move the answer above into the category that deals with
the relationship between rainbows and unicorns, but I'll steadfastly resist it.

The falling apple and the orbiting moon are both responding in the same way to
the same force, and their motions are both perfectly explained and predicted by
the same deceptively simple formula for the gravitational force, presented by
Newton more than 250 years ago.

The branch, the spin of the apple, the ground, the floor, the bounce, the spin of
the moon, the spin of the Earth, morning, and night, are all enrolled in a school of
red herrings. None of them has anything to do with the question, or with its answer.
