The freighter's rotation meant the cables attached to her dorsal masts had started to slacken.

The slow rotation means that the plant experiences a gravitational pull that is averaged over 360 degrees, thus approximating a weightless environment.

This rotation, known as spin stabilization, means that a warhead speeding around the globe can fall within a few hundred feet of its intended target.

Unfortunately the planet's slow rotation means that they are about 10 million kilometers above the surface, and signals take over 30 seconds to travel to the satellite.

With something the mass of a star, rotation means incredible centripetal force pushing out at the equator.

A negative value means levorotatory rotation and a positive value means dextrorotatory rotation.

Anticlockwise rotation means more right trim is required.

In this article rotation means rotational displacement.

But a 900-degree rotation means you can turn hand over hand, the way you do in the real world.

Less wake rotation means there is more energy available to extract.
