  • Chapter

  • 252 Accesses

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 154))

Abstract

The full description of the Earth rotation in space is given by:

  • the motion of the Earth rotation axis with respect to the Earth shown by polar motion;

  • the motion of the Earth rotation axis in space, defined by lunisolar precession and astronomical nutation (see Chapter 8);

  • the angular position around the Earth rotation axis that is the universal time UT1.
