The terms translation, rotation and vibration can be used to describe types of motion.
- Translation refers to the movement of an atom, particle or object from one position to another. Example: Moving from one side of a room to the other would be translational movement.
- Rotation refers to turning around, spinning. Example: A spinning top, or turning around is rotational movement
- Vibration refers to the movement of an object rapidly moving from side to side. Example: Vibration of water in a glass when a truck thunders past or a dinosaur thumps by.
