Best Answer

angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object)

where x stands for cross product.

angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)

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.

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
