To provide a bearing capable of stably supporting a rotating shaft over a wide rotation speed region.
The bearing 1 rotatably supporting the rotating shaft 50 includes: a supporting part 3 storing the rotating shaft 50 in an inside thereof; a plurality of bearing pads 4 arranged between the rotating shaft 50 and the supporting part 3; connecting parts 31 connecting the supporting part 3 and the bearing pad 4 and supporting the bearing pad 4 so as to be displaced around an axis extending in parallel to the rotating shaft 50; and pad slits 41 extended along one direction and the other direction in a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 50 from the connecting parts 31 between the supporting part 3 and the bearing pad 4. A dimension Cr between the supporting part 3 and the bearing pad 4 which is a width dimension of the pad slit 41 is 0.0005 times or more and 0.002 times or less with respect to a radius R of the rotating shaft 50.
