<span>When you are in the way of a moving object and a collision is sure to occur, you are better off decreasing its momentum over time. Which is nothing but force. mv/t = m.a = F
This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side
