. Why is the motion of Satellites around their planets considered an accelerated motion?

Best Answer

Satellites revolve around their planets in almost circular orbits with constant speed. Thus, during their motion, the speed remains constant, while the direction of motion changes continuously. As a result, there is a change in their velocity. Therefore, the motion of Satellites around their planets considered an accelerated motion.
