Abstract
A sliding component includes a pair of sliding members being slidable relative to each other on sliding surfaces of the sliding members. One of the sliding surfaces includes a dimple group in which dimples are arranged in a radial direction and a circumferential direction, each of the dimples having an opening portion whose shape has a long axis and a short axis orthogonal to the long axis. A dimple angle formed by a radial axis passing through an intersection of the long axis and the short axis of the dimple and a rotational center of the sliding surface and the long axis changes in at least one of the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the one of the sliding surfaces.
