In 1980, Feissel et al. identified a quasi–cyclic variation of 55 days in the irregularities of the Earth Rotation (ER) later detected in the Atmospheric Angular Momentum (AAM) (Langley et al., 1981). The purpose of this work is to analyse whether the causes of this cycle could lie in the physical processes of the Sun. The Wolf Numbers (WN) are used as parameters of the solar activity. Their spectral analysis over the period 1967–1985 shows such a component at 51 days. Analysis of three other periods, among which is the MERIT campaign, confirms it as well as during low or increasing solar activity periods.
