Im not completely confident, given my knowledge isn’t by an understanding of momentum in “particle physics” … but at least as far as I understand it, momentum and angular momentum are the same “thing”, angular momentum is just momentum constrained by some other physical force (such as gravity for things moving on their obits, or a gravitationally bound object such as stars or rubble pile asteroids spinning on their axis of rotation)
