What else can I help you with?
If you were lost at sea and needed to know your latitude where on earth would you not be able to tell?
You can always find your latitude and longitude by getting a 3-star celestial fix; as long as you have a sextant and an accurate timepiece.If you are looking for a one-star observation to determine your latitude, then you would need to be able to see Polaris, the north star. Polaris cannot be observed anywhere south of about 3 degrees north latitude. (Polaris is not EXACTLY above the North Pole, so in order to get an accurate reading of your longitude, you would still need a nautical almanac and a watch.)But with a watch, a sextant and a nautical almanac, you could do a "local apparent noon" observation of the Sun, and determine both your latitude and longitude quite precisely from one sighting.
Where can one find pictures of earth satellites?
One can find pictures of earth satellites on the NASA Visible Earth online website. NASA Visible Earth is a catalog of NASA images of our home planet, earth. The website "Geology" is where one can also find pictures of earth satellites.
In which layer you find satellites and space shuttles?
Satellites and space shuttles are found in the exosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere extends from an altitude of about 600 km (373 miles) upwards, and is where most man-made satellites orbit the Earth. Space shuttles operate both within and beyond the exosphere during their missions.
How did Captain Robert Falcon Scott find Antarctica?
Both expeditions were guided by the stars, using a sextant to find the latitude and longitude for their destination.
Did any satellites or robots explore earth and in which year?
satellites are in use to find ruins, Old camps, Etc in rain forests. As for robots i am not sure about in the wilderness the military does have robots that can map out buildings on its own and come back to the operator.
How do global positioning systems use elevation on earths system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.
How do global positioning systems use elevation point on earth system to find latitude and longitude?

How many satellites do you need to find your location?
A single satellite can only give you relative location. 3 satellites can give a 2-D positioning/location that includes longitude and latitude. 4 satellites can give a 3-D positioning/location that includes longitude, latitude and altitude. Only 4 satellites can give you absolute location.
How do global positioning systems use elevation points on earth systems to find latitude and longitude?
Global Positioning System (GPS) uses timing signals from four satellites to determine your latitude,longitude, altitude and precise time.
How do you use longitude and latitude to find a location?
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
How do you find longitude and latitude?
You find latitude by finding the place on the map and see what line it is between or on. The same with longitude. You can also find the latitude and longitude of an address using Google maps.
Is California longitude or latitude?
Every point on Earth has both a longitude and a latitude. And if someone gives you a longitude and a latitude, you can use them to find exactly one point on Earth.
What can latitude and longitude find?
Latitude and longitude are angles measured along the surface of the Earth, in order to exactly describe the location of any point on Earth. Latitude is the angle, north or south, between the starting line for latitude and the place you're describing. The starting line for latitude is the imaginary line around the middle of the Earth, exactly half way between the north and south poles. The line is called the "equator". Longitude is the angle, east or west, between the starting line for longitude and the place you're describing. The starting line for longitude is the imaginary line between the north and south poles that passes through a certain place in a certain suburb of London. The line is called the "Prime Meridian".
How to find absolute location?
Latitude and Longitude
What is the latitude and longitude of rio negro?

Where can you find a longitude and latitude coordinator?
You can find a Latitude and Longitude coordinator anywhere really. well not any where the most spacific i can be is www.latitudelongitudecoordinater.net get English tutoring
