Rotation or
rotational motion is the
circular movement of an
object around a
central line,
known as an axis of
rotation. A
plane figure can
rotate in...
- In
linear algebra, a
rotation matrix is a
transformation matrix that is used to
perform a
rotation in
Euclidean space. For example,
using the convention...
- Earth's
rotation or Earth's spin is the
rotation of
planet Earth around its own axis, as well as
changes in the
orientation of the
rotation axis in space...
- Crop
rotation is the
practice of
growing a
series of
different types of
crops in the same area
across a
sequence of
growing seasons. This
practice reduces...
- A yaw
rotation is a
movement around the yaw axis of a
rigid body that
changes the
direction it is pointing, to the left or
right of its
direction of motion...
- In geometry, an
improper rotation (also
called rotation-reflection, rotoreflection,
rotary reflection, or rotoinversion) is an
isometry in
Euclidean space...
-
Optical rotation, also
known as
polarization rotation or
circular birefringence, is the
rotation of the
orientation of the
plane of
polarization about...
-
Rotation in
mathematics is a
concept originating in geometry. Any
rotation is a
motion of a
certain space that
preserves at
least one point. It can describe...
-
Solar rotation varies with latitude. The Sun is not a
solid body, but is
composed of a
gaseous plasma.
Different latitudes rotate at
different periods...
-
Rotational symmetry, also
known as
radial symmetry in geometry, is the
property a
shape has when it
looks the same
after some
rotation by a
partial turn...
