Understand how the Earth’s rotation is explained through precession and nutation. This concise, rigorous work lays out the general theory of rotation for rigid bodies and applies it to the Earth, using clear equations and step-by-step reasoning.

This edition presents the exact methods for modeling undisturbed motion, then adds the disturbing forces from the Moon and Sun to show their net effect on the axis. It connects abstract dynamics with the Earth’s observable motions, offering a careful path from basic principles to planetary-scale results.

Foundations of rotation: Euler’s equations, constants of motion, and the invariable plane

How to translate angular velocities into the planet’s orientation in space

Derivation and interpretation of precession and nutation terms for the Earth

Applied results: lunar and solar contributions, and the cumulative lunar-solar precession

Ideal for readers of historical and technical astronomy, this edition provides a compact, solid introduction to the Earth’s motion of rotation and its broader implications in celestial mechanics.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rigorous and comprehensive study of planetary rotation, delving into the fundamental principles that govern the motion of planets around fixed points. It builds upon the groundwork laid by renowned astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace, providing an accessible and comprehensive guide to planetary rotation within the framework of rigid body dynamics. The author offers a thorough examination of the complex interplay between gravitational forces and rotational motion, utilizing advanced mathematical techniques to derive precise equations for calculating planetary elements. Through these equations, the book empowers readers to accurately determine the orientation and velocity of planets in space. Its in-depth analysis sheds new light on the stability of planetary axes and the intriguing phenomenon of precession and nutation, providing a deeper understanding of the celestial mechanics that shape our solar system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
