Newton's cannon refers to a thought experiment in which Newton demonstrated that a projectile launched horizontally from a sufficiently high altitude would orbit the Earth once its initial speed matched the curvature of the Earth. This experiment illustrated the concept of escape velocity and the principles of gravitational attraction between objects.
