rotation

Mathematics
  • A rotation of the plane about the origin O through an angle α‎ is the transformation of the plane in which O is mapped to itself, and a point P with polar coordinates (r,θ‎) is mapped to the point P′ with polar coordinates (r,θ‎ + α‎). In terms of Cartesian coordinates, P with coordinates (x,y) is mapped to P′ with coordinates (x′,y′), where

    x=xcosαysinα,y=xsinα+ycosα.

    rotation

    Rotation about O by α‎

    This change of coordinates can be represented by the matrix equation

    (xy)=(cosαsinαsinαcosα)(xy).

    Importantly, distances and angles are still calculated the same using x᾽‎ and y᾽‎ as when using x and y. Note that the matrix is orthogonal and has determinant 1. In 3-dimensional space, an orthogonal matrix with determinant 1 represents a rotation about an axis through the origin.


Astronomy
  • The turning of a body on its axis, such as the daily rotation of the Earth. It is usually measured relative to the stars, and termed the sidereal period of axial rotation.
