In geometry, the orientation, attitude, bearing or angular position of an object – such as a line, plane or rigid body – is the rotation needed to move the object from a reference placement to its current placement. Euler's rotation theorem shows that in three dimensions any orientation can be reached with a single rotation around a fixed axis.
