Simply speaking I want to know how long it would take a bullet of a M9 (Or any handgun really) to reach Earth's Atmosphere if fired from the Moon.
My questions are:
Would it make it to Earth?
If yes then:
How long will it take?
How fast will it be traveling?
I'm only saying Earth's atmosphere because my guess was if it would it would burn up in our atmosphere. (If not let me know!)
