Hello FunTurtle1315,
A rectilinear motion is a movement in a straight line at a constant speed.
Therefore, as mentioned by AnanasArtistique8469, I believe the Earth is an example of rectilinear motion.
Even though it is in French, here's a resource that you may find useful.
Hope it helps!

Hey FunTurtle,
Good question!
Yes it is because the earth rotates around the sun on its orbit in a line. The path is curved but the motion is straight along the path. Therefore it is categorized as rectilinear motion.
Hope this explanation helps!
