Question

before inivation of the compus sailors used stars to find direction in what way is using a compus better

Answer 1

when the sailors used to look for stars to find their way, they sometimes got confused and apparently lost their track. most of the stars look same thus they were not helping much also they are not stationary. hence compass gives the exact direction without any confusion.
