Yes.
Any acceleration is a change in velocity.
So: What is velocity?
Velocity is speed with direction
Just speed would be: Sally runs 4km/h
Velocity would be: Sally runs 4km/h north.
The earth is moving at a fast speed around the sun. Because we are moving around the sun along a closed elliptical path we are always changing direction. (This is like running around an oval. As you run, you constantly change direction so that you can make it back to where you started from.)
Because the earth is always changing direction its velocity is changing.
Acceleration is a change in velocity so the earth is experiencing acceleration.

If acceleration equals zero does velocity equal zero?
No.Any body traveling at a steady speed is experiencing velocity without experiencing acceleration. So a for particle traveling steadily at 3m/s, velocity equals 3 m/s, but as long as it travels steadily at this rate, acceleration is 0.
Does an object experiencing a constant velocity have a zero or non-zero value for acceleration?
If an object is sustaining a constant velocity it has 0 acceleration, because acceleration is either increasing or decreasing speed.
A spacecraft orbits an unknown planet at a distance of 5.2 X 107 m from its center the period of its orbit is 52 hrs?
And what is the question?If you want to figure out the mass of the planet: First, use the formula for centripetal acceleration to get the acceleration. Then, use the gravitation formula to calculate the mass required to produce that acceleration.And what is the question?If you want to figure out the mass of the planet: First, use the formula for centripetal acceleration to get the acceleration.

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object
Does a larger planet have greater or less acceleration of gravity?
A larger planet has a stronger gravitational force.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of an object free falling for 3 meters in the first second on a planet with no atmosphere?
The magnitude of acceleration depends on the gravitational pull from the planet. The amount of gravitational pull depends on the size and mass of the planet. On Earth gravity will produce an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared if there was no atmosphere.
What is the numerical value in meters per second of the acceleration of an object experiencing true free fall?
9.8
The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?
acceleration
What is the force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet?
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet is calculated by the product of the mass of the person or object and the gravitational constant acceleration for the planet. For Earth, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m / s^2.
What is the numerical value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of an object experiencing true full fall?
9.8
What is the numerical value in meters per second squaredof the acceleration of an object experiencing true free fall?
9.8
If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
