no a snake cannot move in a straight line as its bones are not stretchable_^^^^^^^^^^&
Axis
The straight-line distance from Newcastle, England to Darwin, Australia is 8557 miles. This is the true straight line distance which accounts for the curvature of the earth, NOT the straight line drawn on a map
2 points. However, the farther apart the 2 points the striaghter the line will be, unless you move the straight edge!!.
A projectile (shot from a cannon, for instance) will fly in a curved line and land on the ground, due to the attraction of the Earth's gravity. Snipers have to allow for this curvature effect, and also the side pressure from any wind.
