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

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

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!!

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

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

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.

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

@@gabrielpalacio6710 No The arcminute is 1.15 statute miles at the equator, the meridians reducing distance apart as we move north or south. Remember the Cosign part ?

Very well explained. Thank you so much.

Best explanation. Thanks.

Thnx brother for such a nice lecture.

such a good video!

wonderful lesson bro.

this video is simply awesome

Awesome lecture ! Thank you.

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.

First of all I'd like to thank you for upIoading this video. I don't know much about geography and for this simple reason I find this video immeasurably helpful. But there is one thing I would be really thankful if you helped me with. When I tried to convert the figures into kilometers, which is more clear for me because kilometers are used to measure distances where I live, I faced a strange thing - 1 statutary mile = 1 nautical mile = 1.853 km. The information I found told me that there is some old metric system that says 1 mile = 1.609 km (((((((((((

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.

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.

great video 10nx

Very good presentation

Thanks u made my day

thanks bro i learn my lessons

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.

@kenyanow8274

5 жыл бұрын

The Earth itself is not changing its tilt orientation during the seasons. The north geographic pole is always pointing toward Polaris. So, as the Earth revolves around the Sun, the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of the ecliptic (that is, relatively to the position of the Sun). During the summer solstice (June 21), the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the Sun. A half a year later (Winter Solstice, Dec 21), the Earth's tilt is in the same orientation, which means the northern hemisphere is now pointed away from the Sun (Winter Solstice, Dec 21).

amazing video sir

thanks for teaching me

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

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

@BusyElf

Жыл бұрын

Both the American and British Stautory Mile are equal and are 1.760 yards. or 5,280 feet. The standard was agreed 1959 with the British Commonwealth nations and the United States. Chinese miles differ a great deal in length( approx 500 metres) . The origins of the Statute mile (read Statutory mile) are based on the Roman method of measuring paces made by the Soldiers as they made 'feet' steps. 1,000 paces being roughly equal to a mile. Hope this clarifies things.

So equip with sense

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.

+Michael Berkemer I agree, I was also stuck there and it took me quite long to understand (I hope I did now). So the angle is calculated from "inside" the globe, I was thinking about in on the circular surface first ... very confusing, I am not sure how to say it.
