Kinds of nonaccelerating reference frame :

global inertial frame (3 facts) - A coordinate system or frame of reference anchored with respect to the overall distribution of matter in the universe.
local inertial frame (3 facts) - A coordinate system or frame of reference defined in the vicinity of the earth in which Newtons first law of motion is valid; that is, a nonrotating and nonaccelerating reference frame.
