In physics, **parity** refers to a symmetry property related to spatial transformations. Specifically, it deals with how a physical system or equation remains invariant (unchanged) when coordinates are inverted or reflected through the origin. This transformation can be mathematically represented as changing \( \vec{r} \) to \( -\vec{r} \), effectively flipping the sign of the position vector.
