Question

12.what method did pytheas use to determine latitude in the northern hemisphere?
a) measuring the distance to the sun
b) measuring the angle to the north star
c) measuring the distance to the moon
d) measuring the angle to the moon

Explanation:

In the Northern Hemisphere, the angle of the North - Star (Polaris) above the horizon is approximately equal to the observer's latitude. Pytheas used this method. Measuring the distance to the Sun or Moon is not relevant for determining latitude, and measuring the angle to the Moon is also not the correct method for latitude determination.

Answer:

B. Measuring the angle to the North Star
