										angular momentum, moment of momentum, or rotational momentum is a conserved vector quantity that can be used to describe the overall state of a physical system. The angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is
$\mathbf{L} = \mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{p} = \mathbf{r} \times m\mathbf{v}\, ,$
where r is the particle's position from the origin, p = mv is its linear momentum, and × denotes the cross product.
The angular momentum of a system of particles (e.g. a rigid body) is  the sum of angular momenta of the individual particles. For a rigid body rotating around an axis of symmetry (e.g. the fins of a ceiling fan),  the angular momentum can be expressed as the product of the body's moment of inertia I (a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate) and its angular velocity ω:
$\mathbf{L} = I \boldsymbol{\omega} \, .$
In this way, angular momentum is sometimes described as the rotational analog of linear momentum.
