When the two input vectors are parallel, their cross product is the zero vector. This is because the angle θ\theta between them is 0 or π\pi, making sin⁡θ=0\sin \theta = 0, and thus the magnitude ∣a∣∣b∣sin⁡θ|\mathbf{a}||\mathbf{b}|\sin \theta is zero.

Conditions: The two vectors are parallel (or anti-parallel).; You are computing their cross product.
