    Centripetal acceleration is necessary, and is present, whenever any object

    moves in a closed path, or along any part of a circular path. Some examples

    I can think of are:

    - - a planet or a comet in orbit around the sun

    - - a moon in orbit around a planet

    - - the little ball making circles around the spinning roulette wheel

    - - a stone tied to the end of a string, when you spin it around your head

    - - the end of the spinning string on a weed-whacker

    - - the tip of the blade of a fan or a windmill

    - - any little bit of rubber on a car tire or bicycle tire, when they're moving

    - - a strawberry seed spinning around the inside of the blender jar when you're

    making a smoothie

    - - a car driving around a curve in the road

    - - you on almost any amusement park ride; whenever you're not moving in a

    straight line, you're experiencing centripetal acceleration.

    ⇒ the moon in orbit around a planet (or the sun).

    ⇒ The Earth (or an other planet) in orbit around the sun.
