Orbital Velocity is calculated in m/s where as angular velocity is calculated in rad/s.. Answer is very clear.. angular velocity is calculated when body is rotating around a axis and a reference point is needed to calculate it.. where as orbital velocity is calculated when body is moving around a bado in circular path, nt around itself... e.g. Earth rotates around so it have angular velocity .. it also rotates around sun in orbit so it has Orbital velocity also :)

Orbital velocity is the velocity at which an object orbits around a larger body, such as a planet or star, while angular velocity is the rate at which an object rotates around its own axis. Orbital velocity is specific to objects in orbit, while angular velocity is a measure of rotational speed.
