On the basis of observational data on atmospheric pressure (1963–1967), the variation of the moment of inertia, and, with certain restrictions, the changes in the angular velocity of the Earth are obtained. The numerical results derived are compared to the relativity effects in Earth rotation. The comparison shows that both effects are equal in periods and very close in amplitudes.
