What do captains of ships use to show the positions of other ships?
The captain and Officer of the watch (OOW) have a range of tools to help them plot another vessels position. The most common way is to find and select the other vessel (target) on a radar screen, this gives a graphical representation of where the target is in relation to own ship.(provided radar is set up correctly) Another is to take visual bearing of the target ship and plot it onto an appropriate nautical chart.
What is a star diagram in celestial navigation?
a star diagram is a circle on which we plot the location of stars the circle represents the sky above and it is divided into 4 quadrants while knowing the northerly direction we plot the stars with respect to its location from true north and we tabulate its declination in a separate column since location of stars for a particular time from a particular geographical position is predictable so we match it and obtain own position in terms of latitude and longitude

How can you tell where you are by looking at a lighthouse?
A bearing taken over the compass will give you a Line Of Position (LOP) on your chart. Your position must be somewhere on this line. If you happen to notice exactly when the lighthouse hoves into view, you can tell from your chart how far away from the lighthouse you are. From that, you can plot a Circle of Position (COP) showing distance from the lighthouse. And, if you've done this right, it means your boat is somewhere on that circle. Combine the two and you have a True Fix. Alternately, if you didn't notice the lighthouse (or at night it's light) coming over the horizon, you can still plot the same circle knowing you're not on the circle but inside it. This can help you determine exact position. You can also advance a running fix from the first LOP.
What two things do astronomers compare to calculate the distance to a star?
They use trigonometry to measure the parallax error in the nearby star's position based on a large triangle, the base of which is formed by two times the distance of the Earth to the Sun. Simply stated, they plot the star's position on one day, and again six months later, when the Earth is 186,000 miles away from its original position. They use the far distant stars as a calibration standard, and use the Pythagorean theorem to figure out the rest.
How did the vikings plot the courses of their voyage?
They used the stars and sometimes followed the coast. Sometimes they used landmarks.
