Multiple Choice
The Earth on its path around the Sun has an orbital angular momentum J and a spin angular momentum S due to its rotation about its own axis. Knowing the relationship between the year and the day, the Earth's radius, and the Earth-Sun distance, the ballpark relation between the magnitudes of J and S is
A) J larger than S.
B) J approximately equal to S.
C) J less than S.
D) Hold it! Comparing these two quantities is not legitimate because they are quantities that do not have anything in common.
