The necessity to elaborate a theory of nutation and precession matching the accuracy of very modern techniques as Very Long Baseline Interferometry and Lunar Laser Ranging led recently to various works. We discuss here the good agreement between those related to the nutation when considering the Earth as a solid body. In comparison we show the uncertainty concerning the modelisation of the transfer function leading to theoretical determination of the nutation coefficients when including dominant geophysical characteristics.
