A term often used in this case is free fall.
A ball thrown straight will curve downward due to the pull of gravity acting on it. As the ball moves forward, gravity exerts a downward force on it, causing it to follow a curved path towards the ground. This downward curve is influenced by factors such as air resistance and the initial velocity and angle at which the ball was thrown.
When a skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter with forward velocity, the skydiver's initial velocity will be a combination of the helicopter's forward velocity and the vertical velocity due to gravity. As the skydiver falls, their acceleration is primarily due to gravity acting downward, with air resistance also playing a role. The acceleration experienced by the skydiver will be constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 downward, ignoring air resistance.
due to newtons laws of gravity, all things that go up come down for example helium balloons and satellites
The most usual downward force is the force of gravity; the weight of an object exerts force in a downward direction. There are also other forces which can be exerted in that direction. If you wanted to, you could fire a gun in a downward direction, in which case the explosive force of the gun is added to the force of gravity.
The downward force on water is due to gravity, which pulls the water downward towards the Earth's center. This force is known as the weight of the water and is determined by the mass of the water and the acceleration due to gravity.
The result is friction.
Earth's gravity acts downward toward the center of Earth. ... The combination of intitial forward velocity and downward vertical force of gravity cause of projectile to follow a curved path. Force. A push or a pull that acts on an object.

The path that the object takes to either strike the ground or to orbit the body.
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
downward
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
When there is that force that pulls downward. Example, when you climb a mountain. You will fell that there is that gravity pulling downward.
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.

It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.
A root's downward growth as a response to gravity is called positive gravitropism or positive geotropism.
