Like when people fire their guns into the air, what happens to them? Do they go up into low orbit, do they burn up, do they land somewhere else?
In: Other
They hit the ground somewhere traveling at 300 ft per second(approximate terminal velocity of a 30 caliber bullet)
They are not fired with nearly enough speed to leave the atmosphere, nor to burn up due to friction with the air.
What goes up, must come down.
If you are in the country, odds of shooting a person are pretty small, but obviously that increases with increasing population density and shouldn’t be done anywhere.
