Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.

The Polynesians developed the fine art of navigation by stars, inherited from the early arab navigators. Arabians used hand measures to measure the height of the star above the horizon to determine their latitude according to the angle determined.

ryzh [129]
<span>South American countries have been attempting to mirror the free market system of the United States since around 1980 (the "Washington Consensus"). This has lead to economic stagnation in these countries. In order to boost their own economies, they are now looking at the models of more productive nations whose economies are growing very rapidly and are attempting to mirror their market systems. The main countries being scrutinized are China and India, who have nationalized many of their industries/resources. This would explain the shift.</span>
