In the active transformation (left), a point P is transformed to point P ′ by rotating clockwise by angle θ about the origin of a fixed coordinate system. In the passive transformation (right), point P stays fixed, while the coordinate system rotates counterclockwise by an angle θ about its origin.

The direction of vector rotation is counterclockwise if θ is positive (e.g. 90°), and clockwise if θ is negative (e.g. −90°) for ().Thus the clockwise rotation matrix is found as
The inclination of the moon's orbit is shown relative to the Ecliptic Plane. The Solar System traces out a sinusoidal path in its orbit around the galactic center. Using Galactic North as the initial frame of reference, the Earth and Sun rotate counterclockwise, and the Earth revolves in a counterclockwise direction around the Sun.
A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle . A rotation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly.
This template places a mark on an image, with an optional label. It is a simplified version of {{Location mark+}}. Other templates are more capable of superimposing one image on another. This template centers a mark over a location on any image using coordinate values that are relative.
This template is used by {{Location map-line}} to draw a latitude (horizontal) or longitude (vertical) line. Parameters |1= name of map template (default: Earth )
Takes the file name of a standard location map from Commons (without 'File:'), and displays it as a minimap in a corner. mini-width and mini-height are the desired dimensions of this minimap, in pixels. Unlike pre-2024, all images are now displayed at their given proportions.
