Yes?
-
It's going around the Sun.
-
Let's imagine it's a circular orbit.
-
Then we've just shown here,
-
it's an accelerated frame of reference.
-
It just turns out that if you put the v^2 and you put the r,
-
and r is 93 million miles,
-
you will find the acceleration is small enough for us to ignore.
-
But there are effects of the Earth's acceleration,
-
which we'll demonstrate.
-
The Focault pendulum is one example
-
where you can see that the Earth is rotating around its own axis.
