Orders of magnitude (angular momentum)

The following table lists various orders of magnitude for angular momentum, in Joule-seconds.

Table
Factor (J·s) Value (J·s) Item
10−34 1.055×10−34 Reduced Planck constant
6.626×10−34 Planck's constant
1029 2.308×1029 Rotational angular momentum of the Moon
1033 7.07×1033 Rotational angular momentum of the Earth[1]
1034 2.871×1034 Orbital angular momentum of the Moon, with respect to the Earth.[2]
1040 2.661×1040 Orbital angular momentum of the Earth, with respect to the Sun.[3]
1041 1.676×1041 Rotational angular momentum of the Sun[4]
gollark: See, it's important to recognize that distinction.
gollark: What do you mean you "perceive" time as discrete? You mean you *arbitrarily think so*, or what?
gollark: Quite a lot.
gollark: > The Planck time is the unique combination of the gravitational constant G, the special-relativistic constant c, and the quantum constant ħ, to produce a constant with dimension of time. Because the Planck time comes from dimensional analysis, which ignores constant factors, there is no reason to believe that exactly one unit of Planck time has any special physical significance. Rather, the Planck time represents a rough time scale at which quantum gravitational effects are likely to become important. This essentially means that while smaller units of time can exist, they are so small their effect on our existence is negligible. The nature of those effects, and the exact time scale at which they would occur, would need to be derived from an actual theory of quantum gravity.
gollark: Oh, no, never mind, that's not it.
