Different Arrowheads bend differently (Tikz)

I have stumbled upon some weird behaviour regarding arcs and arrowheads.



Here is a MWE: 



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}

    usepackage{tikz}

    usepackage{graphicx}

    usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}

    defRad{2cm}

    begin{document}

        begin{tikzpicture} 

                            draw[blue, thick] (0:Rad) arc (0:360:Rad);

                            draw[orange,->]  (90:Rad)    arc (90:90-170:Rad);    

                            draw[orange,-{Triangle[length=1mm, width=1mm]}] (90:Rad) arc (90:90+170:Rad);

    end{tikzpicture}

    end{document}


If you look closely at the outcome, one can notice that the orange arcs bend differently:
enter image description here



I would rather use the triangular arrowheads, but it is the one that bends differently than the actual circle, so I can not use it as it seems to be inaccurate.



I appreciate your help.

          Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

          Image
          28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
