this is awesome and not many people know the benefit's of learning but I do. I just want to thank you for making this very educational and precise video.
Amazing video!!! I was so confused a few minutes ago as I just got introduced to longitudes and latitudes with minutes😄Now I clearly understood the concept, Thank you so much.
Hi, I am 11 years old . In geography subject I was confused that what is minute and second . This was veryyyyyyyyyyyy use ful video for me. Thank you very much.
Using degrees, minutes and seconds is a relic from the 1800's British empire. Just like all other complicated, non-decimal unit systems in the world (miles/yards/feet/inches, or the old british currency system). The easiest way would be to use only one unit: degrees with decimals. This is often the case in land navigation. The same coordinates would be written 33.206389° S, 151.86778° E. However, there is a practical reason why minutes are still being used: The distance unit in marine navigation, the nautical mile (1 NM), is exactly one latitude minute. Using minutes makes navigation calculations easier and simpler. This was important when all calculations in navigation were made manually, and it still reduces the amount of errors in conversions. In modern times, the same distance unit (nautical mile) and speed unit (knot=nautical miles per hour) are used by mariners, aircraft and even spacecraft. The position on the video would be written: 33° 52.066' S, 151°12.383' E
can we calculate the longitudinal points in the same way as the latitude? i'm facing a problem in that since i know that the difference between two longitudinal lines is not same everywhere
RUclips shows u what google can't so tysm,Tommorow is my online viva so i didn't knew how to pronounce this so ty,i didn't knew that they are k/a min n sec😁thnx again
thanks for clearing that up. i work with mapping and decimal system witch i still plan to keep using. this shit just confused the hell out of me... and still doesn't make since as to why it is even used... using a 60-base system is silly. i'll just stick with 10 base and decimal.
thanks i understand more than i did 10 minutes ago but still am struggling to visualise how it works in real life and i still dont understand the relevence of 60..111 has no relevence to 60 i can relate to.
I heard of minutes and seconds but I ain’t never heard of minutes on a map! WTF! When I have a map I know I just have north south left and right. Don’t know what minutes are.

So helpful Ty, needed this explanation for Science Olympiad!
not many ppl explained this but you did...thanks a bunch.

Super helpful for geography exam...
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Very helpful for an Earth Sci student. Thank you.
Came here after falling asleep and missing my whole class
This taught me better than my Cadet squadron.
Same! But tbf my NCOs were kinda short in time over zoom
Haha I'm about to teach a class to my cadets. Hopefully, I do well.
Dang it almost got a good guess in the last part. I guessed Singapore. Thank you for this helpful video!
I needed this for my test
Thank you!!! Good job making it simple!
Thanks 4 this knowledge specially time details..
Thank u sir so much
I have a doubt in this but u solved it thanks
Who’s here bcoz the dont pay attention in class😃🙋🏻♀️
me and I have a test tomorrow
can we calculate the longitudinal points in the same way as the latitude? i'm facing a problem in that since i know that the difference between two longitudinal lines is not same everywhere
Thanks sir from India 👍
You explained what seconds are, you showed how to write them, you never showed them on a chart and how to count them.
Concise and helpful. Many thanks
RUclips shows u what google can't so tysm,Tommorow is my online viva so i didn't knew how to pronounce this so ty,i didn't knew that they are k/a min n sec😁thnx again
Nicely explained. Whats the practical problem with going to the point of milliseconds to improve accuracy...
Nice explaination
After watching 4 big big videos this one makes sense....
Thank you so much this was soooo helpful (not sarcasm)
thankyou sooooo much sir.....no one explained this...…...it was always confusing.....thanks again
The dislikes were people from the Northern Hemisphere tryna smash that like button
That was so helpful, thank you very much!
Thank you, this helps a lot in understanding!
110°3’56,786” E is there a space between the number and E thank you
thank you, now I understand !!!
Marine navigation as per nautical charts is not seconds but 10ths of minutes.
i wanna ask, and its important for me Is there a space between 110° and 3 or not? example 110°3’56,786” or 110° 3’56,786”
This was SO HELPFUL. thank you.
What happens if you want to get even more precise, let's say down to the square metre?
add a decimal in the seconds I guess
Thanks a million!
no mention of direction of ascension in long or lat! no mention of long at all. no mention of NM yet you refer to sailing!!
Thank you sir😊
Very helpful sir
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Didn't understand anything, can you show how to calculate the degrees for Latitude and Longitude.
Thanks for your help
Helpful!

Thanks mate
Thank you
° =degree
' =minutes
" =seconds
Tq sir
Thank you:-)
The latitude (first degree) for Sydney should be negative, as it is South of the Equator! Otherwise good video, thank you
Hi thanks steve thanks
1 degree is 60 minutes
some evil individual decided were gonna use minutes and seconds instead of.....Numbers. 41.525 is so much easier than 41 30' 15''. Whyyyy! haha
Thank you for the helpful video describing this mess lol. It helped a lot!
This was worthless 😭
