contents In this paper, we describe the entire structure of the vector space $Sym_2^0$ of all symmetric matrices of size $2$ having trace zero. This is motivated by the geometrical interpretation of any arbitrary element of $Sym_2^0$. We further study the orbits and stable sets of these elements. As an application of the obtained structure of $Sym_2^0$, we obtain the symmetric matrices of size $2$, trace of whose product with any trace zero symmetric matrix is zero. Finally some well known trigonometric formulas are interpreted geometrically incorporating the anatomy of $Sym_2^0$.
