| For some systems, you might be able to choose a location from which to measure the angular momentum where the system experiences no net torque. For example, in the figure to the right a comet orbits a star. The gravitational force vector points from the comet to the star (red arrow). | For some systems, you might be able to choose a location from which to measure the angular momentum where the system experiences no net torque.
