When the angular velocity of this co-rotating frame is not constant, that is, for non-circular orbits, other fictitious forces — the Coriolis force and the Euler force — will arise, but can be ignored since they will cancel each other, yielding a net zero acceleration transverse to the moving radial vector, as required by the starting assumption that the vector co-rotates with the planet.
