When you ask 'Is something moving ?', you always have to tell compared to what.
As we all know, there's no such thing as 'real' motion, there's only motion relative to
something else.
-- Compared to the sun, the moon is revolving around it, in an elliptical orbit that has
these small dimples in it because of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
-- Compared to the Earth, the moon is revolving around it once every 27.32 days.
-- Compared to the moon, the moon isn't moving at all.

Acceleration means that either the speed or the direction of an object's motion is changing.
That means that an object moving in a circle is constantly accelerating, even if its speed
isn't changing. That's that's the case with the moon.

What are the caueses of climate change?
You know, being closer to the sun as it revolves around the earth, searing heat and blinding sunshine, earth moving farther away from the sun, etc.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
Why are you not able to observe with your senses the Earths plates are moving?
The Earth plates are constantly moving, its movement is so slow that humans can not feel it. As well with the rotation of the Earth around the solar system, constant but not notable.
How do meteorites comets and asteroids differ from each other?
a meteorite is a stone that has reaches from outer space. a comet is a moving rock across the sky and an asteroid is a big rock that revolves around the sun between mars and jupiter
Is earth still or moving?
The Earth isconstantlymoving. It rotatesaroundits axis and revolves around the sun.
Observations of a planet moving among the stars over the course of a year provide evidence that the planet?
revolves around the sun
Moon revolves around earth and earth revolves around sun and sun revolves around galatic centre does the galaxy revolve around anything?
The galaxy doesn't revolve around anything; it is slowly moving toward the other galaxys within our galaxy cluster as they are all bound by gravity. Galaxies of other clusters are moving away from us at 70km/s/megaparsec, (known as the Hubble constant) due to the expansion of the universe. This process is fueled by Dark Energy. I thought I'd give you an actual answer- not that the revolving around God one wasn't good... for laughs. Objects 1 Megaparsec away move at 70km/s. Objects 2 Megaparsecs away move at 140km/s The universe is homogenious and isotropic; It has no center and no edge.
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
Where does Earth revolves?
The Earth revolves round its axis once every 24 hours.Earth revolves around the Sun in an orbit that takes it 365 1/4 days.Our Milky Way galaxy contains around 200 x109 stars.Our galaxy is a barred spiral arm system, with 4 arms.Our system lies in the Orion Arm of the Galaxy, and is moving around 220km/s.
Does acceleration change when a cyclist is moving at a constant speed around a corner?
Yes, because his/her direction is changing. If you are referring to the actual number (0 m/s2, because he/she is moving at a constant speed), no, that does not change.
How fast does earth move around?
It rotates at about a 1000 miles per hour (at the equator). It revolves around the sun at about 18 miles per second. Since the sun is also moving around the core of the galaxy, and the galaxy is also moving, I'll quit here.
Can you give me information about rotateing and revolving?
Rotation is defined as the spinning of an object around its own axis and revolution is defined as the spinning of an object around another body.Examples: When a bicycle wheel is let go, it rotates. It does not spin around another body.The Earth revolves around the Sun. It is moving around another body (The Sun). Hence the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What are diifferent word for object?
a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
