Why do you think that sailors sail at different latitudes when they travel east or west?

Sailors may choose different latitudes when traveling east or west to take advantage of prevailing winds and ocean currents that are more favorable for their desired direction. This helps them maintain an efficient and steady course, optimizing their speed and fuel usage. Additionally, weather conditions and navigational considerations also influence the choice of latitude for a given journey.
