Did it go all the way to space?Indeed it did, peko.Huh? It's not coming back...The Earth has an "escape velocity". If one were to throw something so as to get it beyond that speed, just as you did, Kanatan,It is able to break free from Earth's gravity and head off into space, peko.It's about 11km/sec, peko.Other planets have their own escape velocities too.For example, the Moon, which has a smaller diameter and thus lower gravity than the Earth, has an escape velocity of 2.4km/sec.On the other hand, a speed of 617km/sec is needed for the Sun, due to its size, peko.Ohh... So the larger that a star or planet gets, the higher its gravity becomes meaning that you need an even greater speed to escape from it, right?617km/sec is a speed that even Shouhei Otani's fastballs can't come close to.MMGO Bond Blue-White Dragon
