What is the use of a compass? ( ) A A to set the course of the ship B to measure the position of the ship C to measure the speed of the ship D to tell the time
Explorer
land use of compass and
landmarks find new places within an
already identified island or continent
Explorer is someone who travels into or through a place in order to learn about it.
3 Why is the position of the sun and various stars useful for working out latitude?
The position of the sun and stars are useful for working out latitude because they are fixed points in the sky and their movements in relation to the earth are already known. So they can be used to measure a ship's position.
Very often navigators are also explorers.
