That's because the ball is attracted by Earth's gravity.

Is the word curve a verb?
The word curve can be used as either a verb or a noun. As a verb: when you throw a ball, its path will curve downward, because of gravity. As a noun: the equation can be drawn on the graph as a smooth curve.
What causes a baseball batter to recognize that a curve ball is being thrown to home plate?
A seasoned batter can normally spot a curve ball being pitched by the ball's early arc. It is also seen early in its path to the plate by its spin combined by the delivery motion of the pitcher.
Why does a golf ball's trajectory path sometimes curve when hit by a golf club?
The club may strike the ball in such a way as to induce it to spin. This affects the aerodynamics of the ball, and can cause its path to curve.
What is a parabolic curve?
A parabolic curve is a curve where any point in the curve is an equal distance from two areas. It is an equal distance away from the focus, or fixed point and the fixed straight line, or the directrix.
Where does the word 'banana shot' come from?
I believe its as simple as the path of the ball when curled is similar to the traditional shape of a banana - an elongated curve.
Is space is really curve?
The sir of astronomy said that space is curve but how that is possible according to me space can not curve if space is the form of curve than all galleries ,plants ,stars, and everything which belong to universe will be move in the same way but there are moving in special curve path . The curve path be may because of different forces which make them make is a curve path. The forces are well know my as . But on curve path I have a example suppose that you are moving on a path the path is curve you are moving in a straight line with any speed but it appear to as that we are moving in a curve path. in reality we are moving in straight line. same condition of earth which are moving in a curve due to same special forces not in a curve space. Now we know very wall that the curve path is due to same special forces which force any body to move in a curve path . In short the curve is due to same force , it is not mean that space is curve. If so than the shape of space is like Imagine the image
What is a downward path called?
A ramp.
What is a curve path?
no one cares... at all
Path that is always a curve?
blah
A soccer ball is kicked at a 45 degree angle at the top of its path is its acceleration entirely horizontal or vertical or a combination of both?
At the top of it path or anywhere else the Earth's gravity accelerates the ball downward. Regardless what the horizontal mothion is (disregarding air resistance), there are no accelerations after the kick. A ball kicked straight up to the same height will hit the ground at the same time as a ball kicked at 45 degrees.
Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity?
No! They are in orbit because of earth's gravity. If they were beyond the pull of earth's gravity, they would fly off and never return. Everything that is in orbit around earth is falling towards earth. Their orbital velocity is great enough so that it compensates for the downward pull.When you throw a ball it falls in a curve. Throw it harder and the ball will fall farther away but will still fall along a curve. Throw it as hard as possible and it will still follow a curved path and eventually land. Gravity causes it to fall along a curve. Now imagine throwing a ball SO HARD that it returns to you from the opposite direction. Gravity has been pulling on it causing it to move along a curved path, but its velocity sends it around earth in an orbit.
