Answer:

The ‘angular momentum of a planet’ which around the sun in the orbit which is circular in shape is directly proportional to the inverse of the radius.

Explanation:

  • Angular momentum L of a planet is \mathrm{L} \propto r^{1 / 2}
  • L the angular momentum of a planet is equal to the product of its mass (m) of the planet, rotational speed (v) of the planet, and radius (r) between the sun and the planet. L = mvr.
  • The centripetal force of the planet \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{mv}^{2} / \mathrm{r} and the gravitational force on the planet exerted by the sun is \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{GMm} / \mathrm{r}^{2} with G being gravitational constant and M being solar mass.  

Since the angular momentum is conserved,  

                      \mathrm{L}=(m \sqrt{G M}) \mathrm{r}^{1 / 2}

                             \mathrm{L} \propto r^{\frac{1}{2}}
