Answer 1

A little bit off topic but it all ways annoys me in movies where an outer space shot of a meteor heading to earth is going to hit head on. 90°. But then when it cuts to earth view, it always streaks across the sky as if to be parallel with the earth before losing its fight with gravity and hitting at a 160° angle.
