Node Description and Purpose
This node takes the vector from the Input and normalizes it. This means it converts it to a unit vector, which is a vector that has a length equal to 1.
Normalized or unit vectors are useful for all sorts of reasons. A prime example is when you want to find the angle between two vectors using the Dot product.
