  1. On the face of it, angular motion would imply dtheta/dt, a change in an angle dtheta over an interval of time dt.  And that's all we need for angular motion to exist...a change in angle over time.

    That change in angle could happen with the rotation axis embedded inside the moving body or with that axis outside the moving body.  When the axis is inside, we call that motion rotation...as in the tire rim rotates around the hub.  When the axis is outside, we call that motion revolution...as in the Moon revolves around Earth.

    Circular motion, again as the name implies, is just a special case of revolution where the body revolves around an external axis in a circular path in a plane.  Planets, for example, follow non-circular paths in that they are typically in elliptical motion.


  2. Circular motion relates to the motion of an object,where as angular motion relalates to a motion includes linear to parabolic in nature.  

  3. Circular motion and angular motion can be classified into UCM(Uniform Circular Motion) and LM(Linear Motion) and Angular motion is measured in radians!

  4. as the name itself suggests circular motin represents only the motion going in a circle

    these are of diffrent types

    1.vertical circular motion

    2.horizontal cicular motion

    this includes rotational dyamics and rotational kinematics

    whereas angular motion is regarding with parabolic motion

    and ellipitical motion also the above specifications would become complex in the case of parabolicand elliptical motion

  5. Basically same. However for better understanding of the concept , in angular motion you may think to restrict yourself below 360 degree. In circular motion you may have many rotations.

  6. No.

    A particle cannot have angular motion. It can have circular motion.

    A body can have circular motion as well as angular motion. Angular motion is also called rotational motion. Circular motion is a translatory motion. A body can have either translatory or rotatory motion or a mixture of both.

    If a line joining any two particles of a body moves parallel to itself, the body has pure translatory motion. If the centres of circular motion of all particles of a body lie on a stationary axis, the body has pure rotational motion. If the axis of rotation is also moving parallel to itself, the body has both translatory as well as rotational motion. Sometimes, the the axis of rotation may be moving such that its one end moves on a cicle and the other is fixed like a spinning top. Some bodies have very general motion which can be described by more complex equations.
