The right-hand rule is such that if the fingers of your right hand wrap counterclockwise from the x-axis (the direction in which \(\theta\) increases) toward the y-axis, your thumb points in the direction of the positive z-axis (Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\)).

Just like the case of linear momentum, the total angular momentum of a system can be found by simply adding up the angular momenta of the individual parts of a system.
