Earth's velocity around the Sun changes slightly throughout a given year. This is because Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse that deviates slightly from a true circle.
When Earth is closest to the Sun, in early January (Jan. 04), its velocity is a bit higher that its average yearly orbital velocity. This point in Earth's orbit is called perihelion.
Six months later, on or about July fourth, Earth is at aphelion, its farthest distance from the Sun for a given year. During this time, Earth's velocity is slower than the yearly average.
Earth's average orbital speed is 107,200 km per hour, or 66,610 miles per hour. When Earth is closer to the Sun, it moves faster; and when farther from the Sun, a little bit slower than the average.

Can a rocket traveling at orbital velocity reach the moon?
Yes, but it has to be travelling at the MOON'S orbital velocity, which is quite a bit more than that needed for low earth or even geosynchronous orbit. The faster one goes, the higher the orbit.

When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.
Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
When a car goes around a curve what force keeps the car on the road?
Velocity
True or false velocity is the slope of the displacement vs. time graph?
It depends on whether it is a positive slope or a negative slope. If the velocity increases as time goes on, yes the particle is accelerating. If the velocity decreases as time goes on, it is decelerating.
At what points does velocity change direction?
The velocity of an object can only change if it is accelerating and if this is constant and continuous. Velocity will also only change direction if acceleration is greater than zero and will not work if at zero.
A cyclist goes around a level circular track at constant speed. Is the cyclist's acceleration zero because her speed is constant?
No. The cyclist is moving at a constant speed, but her velocity is changing. Remember that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. As speed is constant, only direction is changing. But a change in direction is a change in velocity (even if speed is constant), and this requires acceleration in that direction to accomplish the change in direction. You're on the right track, but just recall that acceleration is tied to velocity and not just speed. And note that velocity can change all the time without speed changing. Acceleration must cause the change in velocity. Consider that objects in orbit around the earth move at a pretty constant speed, but accelerate toward the earth all the time. Their speed coupled with their acceleration toward earth cause them to move in an arc - which is their orbital path.
What path might an object take that involves changing the velocity?
An object might change its velocity by accelerating, decelerating, changing direction, or a combination of these. For example, if a car starts from rest and accelerates along a straight road, it would experience a change in velocity. Another example is a ball thrown upwards experiencing a change in velocity as it goes up and then down due to the acceleration of gravity.
Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
A bouquet is thrown upwards does the bouquet's displacement and velocity change?
Yes, the bouquet's displacement and velocity change as it moves upwards due to the force of gravity. Initially, the bouquet's velocity is maximum, then it slows down until it reaches the highest point where its velocity is momentarily zero. Finally, it falls back down, increasing its velocity until it reaches the ground.
Where is the velocity greatest with a stream with meanders?
On the outside. This is because when the water is flowing around a meander, the water practically goes around, where erosion occurs. If you know science, wherever in a stream where erosion occurs, thats where the velocity is greatest.
What line segments on a velocity versus time graph is physically impossible?
A vertical line segment on a velocity versus time graph represents an instantaneous change in velocity, which is physically impossible. It would mean that an object goes from one velocity to another instantly, without any acceleration. In reality, objects need time to change their velocity due to the presence of acceleration or deceleration.
