well yes it has two elements of angular momentum.. One due to the orbital motion, and one due to its angular rotation around its own axial centre.. As my first answer was.. the answer is the same for diagram B.. The angular momentum of an object still has two elements... one with respect to its own centre axis, and one with respect to the primary centre. However I have difficulty still with your terminology.. Poles generally refers to the opposite ends of the axis of rotation. In B you seem to have the poles shifted to the plane of the orbit, which now makes these the equator. and the rotation is still vertical to plane of the orbit, which make for new poles, to and bottom. and a new equator.. I did tell you I have difficulty reading static diagrams of a dynamic system.

I recall your oft stated difficulty visualising physical motions, moving mechanisms et al, but regardless, I am interested in your take on the questions included in the illustration. Allen of course has a vested interest in simply pronouncing my offerings as "Your post is nonsense!" but I believe that you may well be able to see what I am getting at. Would you comment please?
