Definition #

A gyroscope is a sensor that measures the rotation rate with respect to an inertial frame.

It will thus measure all the subsequent changes in orientation when it’s rotated.

Since the Earth coordinate frame is rotating, a gyroscope lying on the ground will also measure the Earth rotation rate (approximately 15°/h).

Gyroscope output is typically expressed in °/s, or in rad/s.
