Cmprehending
1 Read the passage and answer the fllwing questins.
Speed and time are imprtant in findingut the lngitude f a ship because the earth mves fifteen degrees westwards every hur. If yu knw yur directin, speed and time, yu can wrk ut the apprximate lngitude r change in yur psitin in relatin t the stars.
Why are speed and time imprtant in wrking ut the lngitude f a ship?
The psitin f the sun and stars are useful fr wrking ut latitude because they are fixed pints in the sky and their mvements in relatin t the earth are already knwn. S they can be used t measure a ship's psitin.
3 Why is the psitin f the sun and varius stars useful fr wrking ut latitude?
The sailrs wuld need t be excellent navigatrs, able t cpe with bth ht and cld weather, experienced in sailing thrugh very bad weather and able t c-perate in a team.

use knts t find yur speed and wrk ut yur apprximate lngitude
use the cmpass and the astrlabe, quadrant r sextant t find ut yur psitin, return t yur frmer curse
fllw nesting birds t shre; lk fr special clud frmatins r fg ver streams t find land
