Angle of rotation carts on a Ferris wheel move along a circle around the center point of that circle. If a cart moves around the wheel once, the angle of rotation is 360 degrees. If the cart was stuck halfway, at the top of the wheel, at that point its angle of rotation was only 180 degrees. This is also referred to as the "order of symmetry." Angles are commonly measured in degrees, radians, gons (gradians) and turns, sometimes also in angular mils and binary radians. They are central to polar coordinates and trigonometry. Angle of rotation In mathematics, the angle of rotation
Caster angle to move the steering wheel both into and out of each turn, making it difficult to maintain a straight line. In the context of bicycles and motorcycles, caster is more commonly referred to as "head angle", "rake angle" or "rake and trail", especially in American English. The terms caster or castor angle are still predominantly used in British English. Some bicycle constructors refer to the angle subtended by the mechanical trail at the wheel center as caster. Caster angle The caster angle or castor angle is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered
