Earth's angular velocity from the length of day

Usage

earth_omega(lod_h, kind = c("solar", "sidereal"))

Arguments

lod_h

Length of day, in hours (numeric, scalar or vector, > 0). Required (no default).

kind

Which length of day lod_h is (character): "solar" (solar day, as in the lod column of AstroGeo22, converted to the sidereal rotation with 1/T_sid = 1/T_sol + 1/yr) or "sidereal" (sidereal rotation period). Default=c("solar", "sidereal"), i.e. "solar".
