compass
What points did sailors use to navigate
Well, on MY planet, there is only one moon. Not sure about your planet. Here the sailors generally do not navigate by the moon- but they do use stars. In the north, sailors use the Pole Star, also called the North Star or Polaris. In the far south, you can't see Polaris, so sailors use other groups of stars, like the Southern Cross.
Ancient sailors used the stars to navigate between ports.
Navigators can use a magnetic compass to determine which way is North even when they can't see the North Star.
It will enable you to navigate your way round the planet.
well I know that they did not use Viking ship designs. 3======D 0:
* The presence of seabirds would indicate the location and distance of land masses.* It is known ancient sailors were able to navigate by the use of stars.* Early mariners may have known that ocean currents vary during different times of the year.
If you know the constellations and stars in the sky, you can use them to help you navigate. Sailors do this by knowing which directions stars are positioned. They can then tell which way is north, south, east and west.
The same what sailors use as telescopes. The words are the same (Within reason). Sailors are not pirates.
how the navigators and sailors use compass to find direction
they use them to give signals
