A '''rotating frame of reference''' is a special case of a [[non-inertial reference frame]] that is [[rotation|rotating]] relative to an [[inertial reference frame]]. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the [[Earth]]. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see [[Euler angles#
[[File:Corioliskraftanimation.gif|frame|right|In the inertial frame of reference (upper part of the picture), the black ball moves in a straight line. However, the observer (red dot) who is standing in the rotating/non-inertial frame of reference (lower part of the picture) sees the object as following a curved path due to the Coriolis and centrifugal forces present in this frame.]]
