    Rotation
In summary: But I don't think that's the only possible search term. You could also try "rotation of Earth" or "angular frequency of Earth" to find similar information.

The period of rotation of the Earth around itself is changed by seasonal winds, tides, and other factors. The exact amount changes daily(about nano second). Is there a website that shows this amount?

I imagine there are lots of websites that contain this information. For example:

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/earth-rotation.html

If you try an Internet search you should find plenty of others.

I want angular frequency of Earth at this moment but I can't find it on Google
ω=2(pi)/86400=72.7221*10^-6 (difference every moment)

I can't remember now. It was something obvious like "length of a day".
 

Related to Question about Earth's rotation

1. What is the direction of Earth's rotation?

Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.

2. How long does it take for Earth to complete one rotation?

Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.

3. Does Earth's rotation affect the length of a day?

Yes, Earth's rotation directly affects the length of a day. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun, creating night and day.

4. Is Earth's rotation constant?

No, Earth's rotation is not constant. It is gradually slowing down due to tidal forces from the Moon and friction from the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

5. How does Earth's rotation affect the Coriolis effect?

Earth's rotation is responsible for the Coriolis effect, which is the apparent deflection of moving objects on the surface of the Earth due to its rotation. This effect is most noticeable in large-scale weather patterns and ocean currents.
