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.
