Sun in one year (it is also along the plane in which the Earth revolves around the Sun). • Right ascension is analogous to longitude and is measured in hours‚ minutes‚ and seconds‚ from the point of vernal equinox. • Declination is analogous to latitude and is measured in degrees from the celestial equator. • Measurements of declination are either positive (north) or negative (south). • Note: 1 hour = 15° of arc (1° arc is equivalent 1° of longitude) and 1 minute = 1/60° of arc. • Example: Proxima

point at which the equator and the prime meridian intersect is called `0.` From here‚ numbered lines of longitude increase in 15 degree increments and run parallel to the prime meridian. Running parallel to the equator in increments of 10 degrees are latitude lines. At the intersection of these lines are locations on the globe. World globes are equipped with a variety of helpful features. These features will aid your study of our beautiful planet Earth. Read more: Write short composition of 250-300

measured from the equator. 2. Latitude is a point on the earths surface thats is angled between the equatorial plane of a line that passes through that point normal to the surface of refernece ellipsoid which approximates the shape of the earth. Lines joining points of the same latitude trace circles on the surface of the Earth called parallels‚ as they are parallel to the equator and to each other. The north pole is 90° N; the south pole is 90° S. The 0° parallel of latitude is designated the equator

Air Navigation - The Pilot/Navigator All air navigation involves basic principles that apply to all aeroplanes‚ from the simplest trainer to the most sophisticated passenger jets. These basic principles are discussed in this manual. Since The Air Pilot’s Manual is a training programme for the Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL)‚ we will concentrate on accurate navigation of a light aircraft‚ flown by a single pilot‚ in visual conditions. PPL holders‚ when flying cross-country‚ act as pilot‚ navigator

Compass vs. GPS Compass and GPS are navigation devices. The term navigation refers to the process of planning‚ reading‚ and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another. Apart from the similarity‚ there are several differences between compass and GPS‚ which are the history and function. The first difference is history of a compass and GPS. The compass was first invented in China during the Qin dynasty 221-206 B.C. by Chinese fortunetellers (The compass‚ 2008).

of celestial navigation shows us that with just a little bit of information anyone can find their unknown position from known positions in the sky. “The greatest advance in navigation came with the invention of the compass” (Tyson‚ 1996 - 2014). Latitude was easy to figure out by use of the compass and other instruments‚ but it wasn’t until “the discovery of the satellites of Jupiter that scientists realized that the formation of the satellites provided a clock whose face could be seen from every
