The correct answer is: Angular velocity =
1.208 * 10^(-9) rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:
The angular velocity is given as:
ω =
(2\pi)/(T) --- (1)

Where T = 165 * (365 days) * (24 hours/day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) = 5203440000 s

Plug in the value in (1):
ω =
(2\pi)/(5203440000) = 1.208 * 10^(-9) rad/s
