   Rotation
   Motion of an object where the path of every point is a circle or circular arc. A rotation is defined by a point and vector which determine the axis of rotation. The direction of the vector is the direction of the axis and the magnitude of the vector is the angle of rotation. See also: Isometry, Plane Angle, Vector.

    Rotation
    A `rotation` is a movement of an object in a circular motion. A two-dimensional object rotates around a `center` (or `point`) `of rotation`. A three-dimensional object rotates around a line called an `axis`. If the axis of rotation is within the body, the body is said to rotate upon itself, or `spin``which implies relative speed and perhaps free-movement with angular momentum. A circular motion about an external point, e.g. the Earth about the Su...
