Examples of nutation
nutation
The polar motion is primarily due to free core nutation and the Chandler wobble.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The component that works along the ecliptic is known as the nutation in longitude.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The component perpendicular to the ecliptic is known as the nutation in obliquity.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A gyroscope exhibits a number of behaviours including precession and nutation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These oscillations, in both precessional speed and axial tilt, are known as the nutation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Created new basis for computing nutation for the national emphemerides that was widely adopted.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, it is useful for measuring motions of the Earth such as nutation and Chandler wobble.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This provides the absolute reference for the determination of universal time, precession, and nutation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Some important effects are the Earth's nutation, rotation, atmospheric refraction, tectonic displacement and tidal waves.

- Uncontrolled nodding
- (nutate) rock, sway, or nod; usually involuntarily
- Nutation (from Latin nu016Btu0101tiu014D, "nodding, swaying") is a rocking, swaying, or nodding motion in the axis of rotation of a largely axially symmetric object, such as a gyroscope, planet, or bullet in flight, or as an intended behavior of a mechanism. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in the second Euler angle...
- A bobbing motion that accompanies the precession of a spinning rigid body; a nodding motion (of the head etc.); any of several irregularities in the precession of the equinoxes caused by varying torque applied to the Earth by the Sun and the Moon; the circular motion of the tip of a growing shoot
- Nutational is the oscillatory movement of the axis of a rotating body; wobble.
- The spiraling change in the precession angle of the net magnetization during an excitation pulse.
- A slow 'nodding' of the Earth's axis due to the gravitational tug of the Moon on the Earth's protuberant equator.
- NOOT-ay-shun/ Nodding, especially involuntary nodding.
- The "nodding" motion in the curve traced out by the CELESTIAL POLE due to PRECESSION. This motion appears as small-amplitude (~9"), short-period (~19 years) fluctuations in TILT superimposed on the long-period change in axial orientation.
