Fig. 1: A three-dimensional picture with right-handed axes, z up, x towards the viewer on the left and y to the right. Two vectors lie on the floor and start at the origin: a blue arrow a along the x-axis and a green arrow b pointing to the right. The floor parallelogram on them is lightly shaded, and the angle theta between a and b is marked in orange. A thick red arrow labelled a cross b runs straight up from the origin, at right angles to both a and b.
It points along

It is the zero vector.
It points straight down, with the same size.
It points straight up, with the same size.
