Figure 1. The 3 bodies/masses, and the angles and distances among them.

Each body has acceleration components due to the other 2 masses (not to scale).

NOTE that the accelerations of the 2 bodies (m_L and m_H) toward each other have non-zero components in the direction of the center of the Earth (m_E).
