Orbit

Real World Example

Imagine trying to walk in a straight line through a crowded room while constantly being nudged by people moving around you. Just like how you have to adjust your path to avoid bumping into others, the Earth continually alters its trajectory as it revolves around the Sun, influenced by gravitational forces. In this analogy, the crowd represents the gravitational pull, the people nudging you are the Sun's influence, and your adjusted path simulates Earth's orbit, constantly navigating the balance between these forces to maintain a stable, elliptical journey around the Sun.
