angular velocity is the velocity or directional speed with which a particle performs circular motion,or to be more clear,ang velocity is the rate at which the radius vector of a particle sweeps a particular angle.the unit is radians per seconds(angle/time) or rpm or rps

In physics, the angular velocity is a vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudovector) which specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating. The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per
