Nutation theory of the Earth with an atmosphere, an elastic mantle, a liquid outer and a solid inner core (SIC) is developed. The results are compared with the new IAU theory MHB2000. It is shown that disagreements of both theories with observations are less then 1 mas. New normal modes of the Earth are calculated. To complete the model, the theory accounts for the super-rotation of the SIC.
