Angular Velocity: The angle through which a planet sweeps in a unit of time. Technically, the daily motion of a planet, expressed in degrees and minutes of arc, is its Angular Velocity.
The planets were said to revolve in a circular motion around a point attached to the appropriate planetary sphere (or deferent), while moving at a uniform angular velocity.
