$A$ 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 above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
