Sailors focused on the stars to navigate through unknown territory
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.

It enabled explorers to determine their position.
The compass helped European explorers navigate accurately by indicating the direction of the magnetic north. This allowed them to explore new lands, chart accurate maps, and establish trade routes more effectively. The compass was a crucial navigational tool during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, enabling explorers to venture farther from home.
The invention of the caravel helped European explorers by being smaller, more maneuverable, and able to sail closer to the wind than previous ship designs. This made it easier for explorers to navigate unknown waters, explore new trade routes, and undertake long-distance voyages with better speed and control.
