the situation is :
we have a single electron orbiting in an ellipse , it has a mass , it has a centripetal force , the force is field-based one , it has a certain radius of rotation , the only centrifugal force is its motion , it does not touch the nucleus , it is capable to jump from orbit to orbit or return back .
when I compare it by a satellite I compare it according to the above situation:
a single satellite orbiting in an ellipse , it has a centripetal force , the force is field-based one , it has a certain radius of rotation , the only centrifugal force is its motion , it does not touch the planet , it is capable to jump from orbit to orbit or return back.
when compared it to the atmosphere , the analogy soon failed for a single electron , because that is not reality , electrons are not a collection of billions of molecules in away that they cover from the earth surface to 100 km distance !the molecules are very close to each other , in away that if you want to make them closer you need high pressure, that why they move and not stuck on earth , because there is a reserved place for each one , because they are just like a queue one above the other , you do not need to put them intelligently in a certain place because they already filled all the place in a form of a queue , in comparison electrons are not , for water in a tennis ball , you are right and agree with me , that what is going to happen , a number of electrons will stuck on a nucleus , and won't be able to move freely , just like water molecules on a tennis ball , for the marbles jar I think that is the only thing to save the situation , a ring pipe with hole in it , electrons enter in side it to rotate in their accurate Bohr radius , is there a ring pipe in an atom ? NO.
