He explains that angular momentum caused the gas and dust to flatten into a disc, which led to the formation of planets orbiting the sun. Galaxies, similar to the solar system, also exhibit ...

and orbital angular momentum, which is what the Earth carries as it revolves around the sun. In a new paper, scientists seeking better methods for controlling the quantum interactions between ...

This thing called angular momentum, that spinning effect stretches things out into a disc." That's why the planets in the solar system orbit the sun: The solar system began as a spinning mass of ...

While the composition of gas and dust in a molecular cloud is fairly uniform, everything changes once a star begins to form.
