 The ``CharacterBody3D.is_on_floor()`` function returns ``true`` if the body collided with the floor in this frame. That's why
-we apply gravity to the ``Player`` only while it is in the air.
+we apply gravity to the ``Player`` only while it is in the air and reset the vertical velocity otherwise.
 
-For the vertical velocity, we subtract the fall acceleration multiplied by the
-delta time every frame.
+We subtract the fall acceleration multiplied by the delta time every frame.
 This line of code will cause our character to fall in every frame, as long as it is not on or colliding with the floor.
+If we are colliding with the floor, we instead reset the vertical component of the velocity.
 
 The physics engine can only detect interactions with walls, the floor, or other
 bodies during a given frame if movement and collisions happen. We will use this
