A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let $r$ be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be $v$, angular velocity  $\omega $, kinetic energy $K $, gravitational potential energy $U$, total energy $E$ and angular momentum $l$. As the radius $r$ of the orbit increases, determine which of the  abovequantities increase and which ones decrease.

The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance $r$ from the centre is $L$. If the distance is increased to $16r$, then the new angular momentum will be
