We add '<code>polar</code>' to the value of the 'position' property to support the polar coordinates of an element itself. The 'polar-angle' and 'polar-distance' properties specify the position of an element.

Note: In the polar coordinate system, a point is described as being a certain distance from the pole and a certain angle from the polar axis. In the mathematical theory, the polar axis is commonly defined as the positive direction of the x-axis, but we consider the polar axis as the positive direction of the y-axis position as other CSS specifications usually do. Therefore, when the 'polar-angle' value of an element is 0, the element is positioned on the y-axis. If the angle value of an element increases in the positive direction from 0, the element moves clockwise. The method to determine a direction using 'polar-angle' works the same way in [[CSS-VALUES]], <<angle>> value.

When the 'position' property on an element is set to '<code>polar</code>', the element could be affected in polar coordinate system.
