angular momentum
angular momentum The momentum a body has by virtue of its rotation. A body such as a planet has two types of angular momentum: one type results from its motion in orbit around the Sun, and the other from its spin on its own axis. Angular momentum in orbit is given by the body's mass multiplied by its orbital
angular velocity and by its distance from the Sun. Angular momentum of spin depends on the mass of the body's individual parts and their distances from its centre (the
moment of inertia) multiplied by its angular velocity of spin. As a consequence of
conservation of angular momentum, a body spins faster as it gets smaller, such as when a gas cloud shrinks to become a star.
