(N/A) The quantization of angular momentum is a fundamental law of nature, but its effects are only observable at the microscopic scale.
For planetary motion, the angular momentum $(L)$ is extremely large compared to Planck's constant $(h)$.
For example, the angular momentum of the Earth in its orbit is of the order of $10^{70} h$.
According to Bohr's postulate, $L = n(h / 2 \pi)$, which implies $n = 2 \pi L / h$.
Substituting the values, we find that the quantum number $(n)$ is of the order of $10^{70}$.
For such extremely large values of $(n)$, the difference between successive energy levels or angular momentum states is infinitesimally small.
Therefore, the discrete nature of the orbits becomes indistinguishable from a continuous distribution, and we treat planetary motion using classical mechanics.
