In the unrotated sample solution variables 1, 2, and 5 load similarly on both factors, thus making it difficult to distinguish between them. By rotating the factor solution this ambiguity between the factors is removed. In the absence of ambiguity it is much easier to interpret and name the two factors. Obviously, whatever variance variables 3, 4, and 5 share in common, it is distinctly different from that which is shared by variables 1 and 2. A graphical depiction demonstrates more clearly what is meant by orthogonal rotation.
