Any accelerated reference frame is noninertial.
So the frame of reference of any body that experiences a force (such as gravity, or rocket propulsion, for instance) is not describable in SR. General Relativity is required for that.

particular Relativity applies basically to Inertial Frames of Reference (those frames of reference that are moving at consistent velocity in a without delay line, meet the circumstances of Newton's 1st regulation.) the two FoRs could be moving relative to a minimum of one yet another. The word in basic terms facilitates you to prepare particular relativity. the two FoR can evaluate itself immobile and prepare SR to observations created from the different FoR. If the two FoR grew to become into accelerating, then commonplace relativity applies.

Even the earth is not an inertial reference fram. We have gravity and we are rotating but over short distances, the approximation works just fine.
