Are you referring to Coriolis effect?
( An instance would be inertial navigational systems?)

What do you mean? Angular momentum about what? The sun? The earth's axis?

Gravity is a central force, so it doesn't exert a torque (about the big object attracting you), so your angular momentum doesn't change via gravity.
