  • Type: Property
  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.Physics2DModule
public float angularVelocity { get; set; }

Remarks

A Rigidbody2D can only rotate around one axis (the Z axis) so the angular velocity is a single float value rather than a vector. Typically, the value of this property is not set directly but rather by applying 
torque
to the rigidbody. The angular velocity will also decrease automatically under the effect of Rigidbody2D.angularDamping.
