🔍 Key Concepts

• Navigational triangle on the celestial sphere and what its three corners represent • Relationship between the observer’s position, the celestial body, and the elevated pole • Meaning of zenith, coaltitude, and how they relate to the observer

💭 Think About

• Identify the three points that must form the sides of the navigational triangle used in celestial navigation for intercept calculations • Ask yourself: which of the options is NOT a specific point on the celestial sphere that can act as a corner of that spherical triangle? • Consider how altitude and coaltitude are defined: are they angles, arcs, or physical points?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which terms describe actual points on the celestial sphere (possible triangle vertices) versus angular measures or arcs • Confirm that the navigational triangle is drawn between the zenith, the elevated pole, and the geographical position (GP) of the celestial body • Make sure you can distinguish between a point on the sphere and an angle or distance derived from that geometry
