The whole scope of problems related with the rotational motion of celestial bodies is briefly discussed. Relativistic modeling of the Earth rotation is considered from a conceptual point of view. Relativistic effects in rotational equations of motion of an extended body in general relativity are discussed. Numerical values of the effects are given.
