Solution

When an object moves on a path such that its distance from a point remains constant, then it is said to be exhibiting circular motion.

A spinning top rotates about its own axis. All the particles of the top rotate about the axis and thus exhibit cirrcular motion.

Earth orbiting around the sun in a circular path.
