Aside from the Sun, when heavenly body is most
useful for determining your latitude? [1 pt]


The earth, then Polaris.


Polaris is of dubious utility in the southern hemisphere. I'd have to say
the Moon.

Excellent point. Personally I would avoid sailing in the Southern Oceans,
it's full of foreigners.
