Question

The earth revolves around the sun in a circular path. This is an example of which motion

Answer 1

Explanation:

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTON

Answer 2

The earth revolves around the sun in a  circular path in a uniform circular motion.

• The motion of the earth around the sun in the circular path is at a uniform speed and therefore it is a uniform circular motion.
• The circular paths are called orbits.
• It is the sun's gravity that keeps the earth moving along its orbit.
• Since the path is circular, we know, the earth's velocity is not uniform.
• The direction of the velocity is perpendicular to the force of gravity the sun exerts.
• This is the reason why the earth moves in a circular path or else it would have moved in a straight line.
• The earth takes 365 days to complete one revolution around the sun.
