An Introduction to the Terrestrial Sphere or what Latitude and Longitude are! A short video where I explain the key points about the Terrestrial Sphere which are necessary to understand how to calculate Plane, Parallel, Mercator and Great Circle Sailings.

This video is intended as a quick introduction to the key terms and is a predecessor to later videos in my Sailings series.

Ask any questions in the comments - I’ll do my best to answer them.
