I try to clearify it as much as I can, and I greatly appreciate the given answers.
Suppose that we have a rigid body. We attach a movable coodinate frame on this body.
Normally, if I perform 3 successive rotations such as Z-Y-X or Z-Y-Z (or any other 24) I can describe its rotation in the most general case.
If I perform only two rotations what will happen then? Let's suppose I only perform a Z-Y rotations (first rotate about yaw then rotate about the current pitch) what would be the loss in terms of generality? Let's say, without the 3rd successive rotation, I cannot describe the half of the ... plane and/or sphere?
Thank you very much in advance.
