 By convention, positive angular velocity indicates counter-clockwise rotation, while negative is clockwise.For example, a geostationary satellite completes one orbit per day above the equator, or 360 degrees per 24 hours, and has angular velocity "ω" = (360°)/(24 h) = 15°/h, or (2π rad)/(24 h) ≈ 0.26 rad/h.If angle is measured in radians, the linear velocity is the radius times the angular velocity, formula_1.
