The cross product is a mathematical operation that takes two non-parallel vectors in three-dimensional space and produces a third vector that is perpendicular to both of the original vectors. The resulting vector's direction is determined by the right-hand rule, and its magnitude is proportional to the area of the parallelogram formed by the two original vectors.
