I mean, "Yes, muons have mass, and their mass is approximately 207
times
that of an electron, with a value of about 105.7 MeV/c², according to
Britannica [10, 17] and other sources [1, 3, 6, 7]." -Google AI
So they must move faster in the atmosphere.

So since the mass of a  muon is 207 times the mass of an electron
it must fall 207 times faster than an electron? :-D

If you listened with any intelligence or weren't willfully
misconstruing, the obvious meaning is that having any mass, gravity
accelerates them. That would not be enough to account for the ten times
longer distance they travel so they must live longer.

That the usually relayed experiment of Galileo's dropping
never occurred and that the notions of Galileo were largely
from the Mertonian and latitude of forms then that Galileo's
experiments in the mechanics sector were mostly about
the tautochrone/brachistocrone, much like Newton's apple
never landing on his head and largely courtesy Kepler?
