Thanks, Phil. You're a peach. (If you need a proofreader for the new book, I'm always available. Then, I'd get to read it first!)

Which bank of a river is the left or right bank?

There is a term "true right", which is the right bank... when looking down-stream.

The standardised point-of-view gives a context to the "left" or "right".


It would seem to me that solar-system pictures generally do use a look-down-on-North-pole view, not a look-up... view.

Is there a name for that?

e.g. can we say something like "Earth orbits the Sun in a true counterclockwise direction"?



(Yeah yeah, not the Sun....)
