Chaotic rotation
open-in-new
<p>Chaotic rotation involves the irregular and unpredictable <a href="/facts/Rotation/yChkz49x">rotation</a> of an astronomical body, typically seen in objects that aren't spherically symmetric and influenced by other forces. Unlike <a href="/facts/Earth%2527s_rotation/mDbXcKUx">Earth's rotation</a>, a chaotic rotation may not have a fixed axis or period. </p>
