Angular momentum is an expression of an objects mass and rotational speed. Momentem is the velocity of an object times its mass, or how fast something is moving times how much it weighs. Therefore angular momentum is the objects mass times the angular velocity where angular velocity is how fast something is rotating expressed in terms like revolutions per minute or radians per second or degrees per second.

The angular momentum of the earth is constant?
More or less. There is a law of conservation of angular momentum, according to which Earth can't gain or lose angular momentum on its own - if for example it loses angular momentum, it has to go somewhere. A meteor who falls into the Earth, or a rocket leaving the Earth can change Earth's angular momentum - but the total angular momentum (e.g., of the system meteor + Earth) is the same, before and after the impact.
In the angular momentum equasion what does the lower case omega mean?
the equation of angular momentum is L=I*w (w=omega=angular velocity)
The earths angular momentum when it is nearest to the sun is greater then when it is farthest from the sun?
The earths angular momentum would be the same.
How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?
magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.
Why the earth was revolving?
Conservation of angular momentum.
What is the difference between angular velocity and angular momentum?
angular momentum and angular velocity
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
How angular momentum of the earth remain constant?
As there is no external torque acting on it, its angular momentum remains constant. This is according to the law of conservation of angular momentum
What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?
angular mmtm is a cross product unlike linear momentum
What is the applications of angular momentum?
when we churn and make out butter milk out of curd, here we apply angular momentum ceiling fan is another example of angular momentum
Do all rotating objects have angular momentum?
Rotating objects all have angular momentum.
What is the relation between torque and angular momentum?
Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum.
What is momentam?
The moment of linear momentum is called angular momentum. or The vector product of position vector and linear momentum is called angular momentum.

When the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum may or may not increase?
if the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum will also increase
Which component of linear momentum does not contribute to angular momentum?
Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum about an axis. So if the component of linear momentum is along the radius vector then its moment will be zero. So radial component will not contribute to angular momentum
Momentum is to force as angular momentum is to what?
Torque
