Its speed is not always constant; because of its orbit, it sometimes goes faster or slower. However, its appearance changes because of where it is compared to the earth and sun - when the sun shines on part of it, that part is visible, but where it is in shadow, it is not visible.

How earth moves to cause day and night?

The Earth orbits the sun. While it orbits, the Earth spins on its axis. When the Earth spins, some part is always facing the sun, but some is not. This constant spinning creates day and night.

Which example describes constant acceration due only to a change in direction?

Centrepetal force-orbits E.G. Earth orbits the sun at a constant speed but also changes its direction, thus its velocity. This means that the almost constant change in velocity causes there to be a constant acceleration because of the change on direction.


How does temperature change with the seasons?

Is gravity always constant on Earth?

No, gravity is not always constant on Earth. It can vary slightly depending on factors such as altitude, latitude, and the density of the Earth's crust.


The moon accelerates because it is What?

The moon accelerates because it is always changing direction. :)


The moon accelerates because?

the moon is in a constant state of free fall towards Earth due to gravity. This acceleration causes the moon to constantly change direction as it orbits Earth, resulting in its circular path around our planet.


As earth orbits the sun it is moving about?

Yes. The Earth, our Sun and indeed all planets, stars and galaxies are in constant motion.


Why velocity is not constant if satellite travels with constant spped at a fixed elevatiopn?

Speed is a scalar quantity meaning it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector meaning it has magnitude and direction. Whilst the satellite's speed is constant its direction is constantly changing. If its direction didn't change it would fly off in a straight line. Since its direction is changing, the velocity must be changing. And also since the velocity is changing, the satellite is also accelerating (towards the centre of the earth).
