A circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation and the examples for this is the revolution of the planets in the sun, revolutions of the satellites in each planets, electrons in an atom, electric fans fins  and also car wheels.
