Earth-Moon system angular momentum (spin + lunar orbit), kg m^2 s^-1

Usage

earthmoon_angular_momentum(a_RE, omega)

Arguments

a_RE

Earth-Moon distance (semi-major axis of the lunar orbit), in Earth radii (numeric, scalar or vector, > 0; present-day value about 60.14). Required (no default).

omega

Angular velocity (spin rate) of the Earth, in rad/s (numeric, > 0, same length as a_RE or length 1), e.g. from earth_omega. Required (no default).
