A sextant is a device used to determine a ship's latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and the celestial body, typically the sun or a star. This information is then used in conjunction with nautical charts to calculate the ship's position on the Earth's surface.

No it is longitude that is used to determine local time

Yes, latitude lines are not used to determine time zones. Time zones are determined by longitudinal lines, specifically every 15 degrees of longitude.
Yes, lines of latitude help determine absolute location by providing a measure of how far north or south a point is from the equator. Latitude lines run east-west and are usually expressed in degrees, allowing us to pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
You can determine the orientation of a map by looking for the compass rose, which indicates the directions (north, east, south, west). Another way is to find landmarks or features on the map that you can identify with real-world locations to determine which way is north.

In the Southern Hemisphere, latitude can be determined using the angle of the sun at solar noon. Alternatively, you can use a GPS device or consult nautical charts that provide latitude information for navigational purposes. Additionally, celestial navigation using stars and other celestial bodies can also be used to determine latitude accurately.

The unit of measure used to determine absolute location is degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. The Earth has 360 degrees at the equator.
