Visualization of rotation, precession, and nutation
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The dynamics of a rigid sphere can be surprisingly complicated. In fact, beside rotating around an axis, the sphere can also precede (i.e. the axis of rotation is itself rotating) and nutate (i.e. the axis of rotation oscillates back and forth). |
