Definition of Rotational Symmetry
An object has Rotational Symmetry when it looks identical after a rotation of less than \(360^\circ\).
For example, there are three different positions into which this fidget spinner can be rotated, and it will still look the same. We say that a fidget spinner has rotational symmetry of order \(3\).
