BASIC TERMS USED IN TERRESTRIAL NAVIGATION....

Terrestrial navigation is an essential skill for sailors, explorers, and anyone interested in understanding the world around them. In this video, we delve into key terms used in terrestrial navigation, including the equator, latitude, and longitude.
The equator is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It serves as the reference point for measuring latitude, which is the distance north or south of the equator. Latitude is measured in degrees, with the equator being 0 degrees and the poles being 90 degrees north or south.
Longitude, on the other hand, measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. It is also measured in degrees, with the Prime Meridian being 0 degrees and increasing to 180 degrees east and west.
Understanding these concepts is crucial for navigating the Earth's surface accurately and efficiently. Join us as we explore the significance of the equator, latitude, and longitude in terrestrial navigation and how they help us navigate our way across the globe.
