I want to ask that photon is affected by the space-time curve due to the strong gravititational force... But the light will also be affected when it passing through the earth on the not curve direction of earth...How the curve work??? How its work??? x-y axes are curved but z-t axes are curve too?

The non-scientist in me struggles to grasp this. Which is "the not curve direction of earth", and how does light pass through the "z-t axes"?
