In baseball, a fly ball happens when a player hits the ball high into the air. The player on the other team must wait for it to come down to catch it. Imagine that there were suddenly no gravity on Earth. How would a fly ball be different?

Answer:

If there were suddenly no gravity on Earth, a fly ball would never come down.

The ball would continue to travel in a straight line in the direction it was hit, until it hit something.

This is because gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. Without gravity, there would be no force to pull the ball down.

This would make baseball a very different game!

The baseball would not be brought back down to Earth when the fly ball is hit. Instead it would fly into space.
