What does "trajectory" mean?

Trajectory means the path that something follows.
It's almost always used to describe things that are dropped, thrown, or shot, like the trajectory of baseballs, golf balls, and canon balls, or other things moving under the influence of gravity, like comets, asteroids, and planets. But it doesn't have to be the path of something sailing overhead from one place to another. You'll also hear about a person's 'trajectory through life'.

A trajectory is the path that a moving object follows through space as a function of time. The object might be a projectile or a satellite

Trajectory is the path an object follows through space as it moves, commonly defined in relation to projectiles affected by gravitational forces. It can be mathematically described and is essential in understanding motion in physics. The term also extends to metaphorical paths, like a person's life or career development.
