Imagine being on a boat in the middle of the ocean with no map, just stars above and waves below. Ancient people used things like the sun, moon, and stars to know which way to go. They also watched how birds flew or how waves hit the shore. It was like playing a big game of follow-the-leader across the sea!
Examples
- Stars helped sailors find their way even on cloudy nights.
