Position says where something is; this says which way it points. That is the only way to ask for the faces on top, or the ones facing the camera, or the sides but not the ends.
Threshold it with Compare and you have a selection by facing: snow that settles on upward faces only, moss on one side, panels cut into the front of a tower.
