Use the prefix trans
To indicate that the two carbons on either side of the double bond are pointing in opposite directions (cis/trans configuration), use the terms cis for the same side and trans for opposite sides. Assign priority to groups attached to the carbons based on atomic number, and use cis for groups on the same side and trans for groups on opposite sides.
When the carbons on either side of a double bond are in opposite directions, it is referred to as the E (enti) configuration. This is indicated by assigning higher priority groups to each carbon and ensuring that the highest priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
The E/Z system is used to indicate the stereochemistry around a double bond. E (entgegen) signifies "opposite" indicating the groups on each carbon are on opposite sides of the double bond. Z (zusammen) signifies "together" indicating the groups are on the same side.
The carbons on either side of the double bond are pointed in the same direction.
The carbons on either side of the double bond are pointed in opposite directions.

The prefixes for naming hydrocarbons are based on the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. They include: meth- (1 carbon), eth- (2 carbons), prop- (3 carbons), but- (4 carbons), pent- (5 carbons), hex- (6 carbons), hept- (7 carbons), oct- (8 carbons), non- (9 carbons), dec- (10 carbons).

In organic chemistry, ortho, meta, and para isomers are types of positional isomers that differ in the placement of substituents on a benzene ring. Ortho isomers have substituents on adjacent carbons, meta isomers have substituents on carbons separated by one carbon, and para isomers have substituents on opposite carbons. These differences in positioning can affect the physical and chemical properties of the isomers.
Cholesterol all in all have 27 carbons.
