What is a "constant" vector?

Please thanks

A vector that doesn't change as a pre-determined "variable" (say, for example, "time"), changes.

maybe it would easier to answer if you gave us some context.

A vector that has a constant length but changes direction would not be a constant vector. That is why an object moving in a circle with constant speed still has an acceleration.
