What is rotation and angular momentum?

Rotation is the process of turning around an axis or a center point. It is a type of motion that occurs naturally in many different physical systems, such as planets orbiting around a star or objects spinning on their own axis. Angular momentum, on the other hand, is a measure of the rotational motion of an object. It takes into account the object's mass, its rotational speed, and the distance between the axis of rotation and the object's center of mass. Angular momentum is conserved in isolated systems, meaning that it stays the same even if the object's rotation changes.
