Angular momentum problem
Appearance
The Angular Momentum Problem is a problem in astrophysics by which the angular momentum of a protoplanetary disk is misappropriated when compared to models during stellar birth. The Sun and other stars are predicted by models to be rotating considerable faster than they actually are. The Sun, for example, only accounts for about 0.3 percent of the total angular momentum of the solar system while about 60% is attributed to Jupiter.
