A column space can have lower dimension than the ambient coordinate space when the columns of the matrix are linearly dependent. In the example, the columns span the xy-plane, which is a two-dimensional subspace of the three-dimensional ambient space, resulting in a matrix rank of two.
Conditions: The matrix has three columns in a three-dimensional ambient space.; The columns are linearly dependent and confined to a plane.

Conditions: The matrix has three columns in a three-dimensional ambient space.; The columns are linearly dependent and confined to a plane.
Near-dependence of columns can produce a much larger condition number. While the exact rank might be full, the geometric closeness of the columns to a lower-dimensional subspace makes the matrix ill-conditioned, leading to sensitivity in calculations.
Conditions: The columns are linearly independent but nearly dependent.; The matrix has full exact rank.
