Every pilot, student or not, needs to listen to this lecture! Fantastic!

I agree with "Pixer AB". My Dad use to say you can tell if someone REALLY understands what they are talking about if they can explain it in terms/pictures that are easy to understand by anyone and anyone can get it. Well done here!!

Easy to understand, which would equal well explained! Best 30 minutes I've spent in a long time.

Easily one of the best explanations I've come across, Thank You Very Much.

great man. dont be afraid to use a crutch like round circles and lines. keep em coming.

I've learnt more watching this than my teacher teaching it omg

Excellent explanation. Im brazilian and I can unsderstand very well. Thank you.

1.15 / 60 is 0.02 so each arc minute gives you a 2 one-hundredth part of a statute mile.

I've alway's wondered as to why when the line referred to as the equator is "LONGER" than the line circleing North to South. Is it not the "LONG ITUDE", While the shorter one going North and South is.

Please give me tutions

? what about true North, ?

Someday, I'm going to tell my friends our long/lat without using my phone. I am going to learn this somehow.

Is a statutory mile defined by act of a legislative body?

Very good explanation! Good job

Ken, this was a great presentation that put some great content into my noggin. One small bit of constructive criticism. Axis (singular) is pronounced axus... while axes (plural) is pronounced axEEz. I really hope to learn a lot from your content. You're a great teacher.

I have a geography test tomorrow and you just really saved me!! I AM SO GRATEFUL!!! >.

So Polaris lines up exactly with earths axis is this by accident or is there intelligent design

Best explanation. Thanks.

Very well explained. Thank you so much.

i have respect for acncient sailors they ain't got gps to supply them answers and figured all on their own.

such a good video!

Watching it from San Diego, California. Thanks for teaching

Thnx brother for such a nice lecture.

wonderful lesson bro.

From Wikipedia: A prime meridian, based at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in London was established by Sir George Airy in 1851. By 1884, over two-thirds of all ships and tonnage used it as the reference meridian on their charts and maps. In October of that year, at the behest of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur, 41 delegates from 25 nations met in Washington, D.C., USA, for the International Meridian Conference. This conference selected the meridian passing through Greenwich as the official prime meridian due to its popularity. However, France abstained from the vote and French maps continued to use the Paris meridian for several decades.

But doesn't the earth also tilt on it's axis (summer to winter) which means the true north pole also tilts? Does Polaris follow this tilt? Very good lesson by the way.

Superbly taught !!!!

You are a good teacher

There are a lot of stars out there! Having a North Star is nothing amazing. Also, the Earth wobbles (it’s about a 20,000 year precession cycle). So, Polaris is not always the North Star.

great video 10nx

thank you

Thanks u made my day

i didnt understand the polaris part and that knuckle or fist part

thx man that help alot its my lesson

Flat earthers are sat whining in a corner. "Say it ain't so mister". But it is.

1 MISTAKE STARS MOVE NOT THE EARTH.thats why santa missed my house last year............rich..................acoG

My children are not understand

Maybe it would be better to have a shorter video than a half hour video learning about 2 different things. I'm giving this a dislike because the writing just seems messed up and could u please say "longtitude" correctly? Thanks

Dear Professor, please reconsider your explantion (elaborate!) after your question at 3 minutes about the same points of Latitude ("..what about here, and here and here..." - not at all "OBVIOUS"!). You never explained how other points on the same line of Latitude can be derived (by means of using the line-length of the angle drawn away from the center and then reconstructed as a parallel with the a point at the end of the line at that angle anywhere on the equator). Sorry, to be so direct, but I found this section of your video to be a poor (incomlete) explanation. The rest is very good and well explained. Perhaps you would want to make a revised video or add this section, explaining this in more detail - thanks for your otherwise excellent video.

could you please remake the video, applied on the true flat Earth and not on the ball Earth that only exists in the heads of people? Thank you.

crapy diagram

F-up mess.

HE DON'T KNOW TO MAKE A CIRCLE

The Earth is flat though!

Fantastic! and, thanks a lot, Prof. But could you brush up on your English, please? Longitude is not pronounced "logtitude". Neither should "nuclear" be pronounced "nukuler". America and Britain......two great nations divided by a common language !! Geoff Tyson

EARTH is flat

thank you sir

I HATE IT
