    The document provides instructions for a navigation assessment, asking students to answer questions about determining a ship's position using celestial bodies. It asks them to identify two methods using azimuth and stars, the two things visible when measuring latitude with a sextant, and explains that a sextant measures angles between celestial objects and the horizon to calculate a ship's position on a chart. It concludes by asking students to draw and label a sextant, listing the function of each part.

    ASSESSMENT # 03
    Directions. Answer the following questions. Write your
    answer below the question as provided. Save in soft copy and
    produce 1 hard copy to be submitted for next pick-up of your
    next modules (USB).

    1. Give at least two methods in determining ship’s position by


    celestial body?

    a. Azimuth Method
    b. Star Sight Method

    2. What are the two things visible in measuring sextant


    latitude.

    a. Celestial body
    b. Horizon

    3. What is the purpose of sextant in determining the ship’s


    position?

    -A sextant is a traditional navigational tool. It measures the


    angle between two objects, such as the horizon and a celestial
    object such as a star or planet.
    This angle can then be used to calculate the ship's position on
    a nautical chart
    4._Draw a sextant, label it and enumerate the function of
    each part?
