And because that’s tire best Globe proof no flat earthers gives a shit what you say
None of you believes longitude and latitude taught to 14 year olds, only works on spheres, and of a specific, invariant diameter.
You're literally so dumb you can't figure out they are "spherical coordinates" and have been since the 1700s, the planet's premier navigational coordinates, still used today by every single craft moving across the face of this planet.
You're literally that dumb. The premier navigational system since the 1700s, so simple it's taught to 14 year olds,
yet so unerringly accurate it's used by every single object that moves across the face of this planet to navigate -
it's completely beyond you even investigating. 14 year old children are more intellectually developed.
No they use to use the stars to navigate a sextant only works on a flat earth
You're literally so ignorant you didn't know sextants are used
specifically, for finding spherical longitude/latitude coordinates.
The stars are used to determine longitude and latitude, with one.
Are we all gonna have to tell you this again tomorrow??
As mentally ill as you act, I'm betting we will.
"Sextant - Principle, Types, and Uses"
"The Nautical sextant, also called as the Vernier sextant or Marine sextant,
is an instrument mainly used, TO DETERMINE LONGITUDE and LATITUDE,"
by measuring angles between two objects."
https://theconstructor.org/surveying/sextant-types-uses/33990/
Britannica Encyclopedia:
"Sextant: An instrument for determining the angle between the horizon
and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star,
used in celestial navigation, TO DETERMINE LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.''
https://www.britannica.com/technology/sextant-instrument
And no, a sextant doesn't only work on a flat object it uses the horizon on Earth.
SEXTANTS ARE DESIGNED to be USED
TO FIND LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.
Which is why they have build-in error of a couple of kilometers.
Every word you wrote
was UTTERLY wrong.
"Sextant"
"The sextant was designed to find longitude by measuring the angular distance between the moon and a nearby star."
"It was also used on land and to find latitude, at sea."

Utterly wrong answer.
People have been finding longitude and latitude for more than THREE HUNDRED YEARS,
using sextants.

You literally couldn't find a WAY
to be MORE wrong.

"Navigation: Latitude and Longitude"
"Sextants and Chronometers Help Sailors Find Their Position at Sea."
Feel free to try that again in the English language.
Sextants uses stars and a flat horizon to navigate if we were flying through space at the speeds you think we are going then the stars would be in different positions making it impossible to navigate. Only Globe earthers think the stars line back up while going all different directions in space lmao
"Sextants uses" ?
Your illiteratti word salad reveals you to not even be capable of posting a two sentence comment, without mauling BOTH sentences with missing punctuation, and and numerous misspellings.
While being demonstrably wrong about every word you tried to write.
Of COURSE using the stars work, people have been using them for 300 years,
moving entire fleets accurately and reliably, around the world.
You're too stupid to realize why the unchanging location of the North Star is important in star navigation.
Nobody has ever been able to make you remember, it never moves from it's relative location in the sky.
Sextants use stars and the visible horizon to navigate. Those navigational capabilities are used to detect LONGITUDE and LATITUDE,
Only an idiot such as yourself can manage to be wrong about every single thing you say, for weeks on end, about such a SIMPLE subject.
12 and 14 year old children learn to use sextants.
THEY'VE WORKED FOR 300 YEARS without FAIL. Entire navy groups sailing around the world successfully, accurately, using them.
You didn't even know navigation using the stars
is done TO FIND
LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.
Which only work on spheres, of a specific, and invariant diameter.
Military leaders, trade sailors, explorers have used sextants and the starts successfully for the past 300 years,
and today, even 12 and 14 year old children
are taught star navigation.
You didn't know people have been using these same Stars and sextants successfully for the past 300 years.
In chalking up how illiterate you are about any of this, you also just revealed you somehow don't know about the existence of celestial almanacs:
which navigators use to tell where certain celestial bodies will be, when,
as they move through the sky overhead.
"So what do navigators need to find their position on the earth's surface by observing the stars?
such as the sun, moon, planets, and selected navigational stars, are going to be,
hour by hour, years into the future, relative to the observatory that prepared the celestial almanac: Greenwich, England in modern times."

You literally have not been able to give ONE correct answer in here,
for nearly a WEEK.
More of your illiterate, meaningless word salad. Misspellings, punctuation, capitalizing words that aren't supposed to be, failing to capitalize proper nouns that ARE supposed to be.
Ok triggerly puff lmao how do you use stars to navigate if we are flying through space in different directions after 300 years we would be in a totally different position in the magical space vacuum
Stop trying to pretend I didn't already show you the part about using celestial almanacs, mentally ill man.
You are a shill and a waste of energy. If you don’t see the flaw I’m the globe model as it relates to sextants it cause you are willfully ignorant or a shill either way your a waste of time
