Difference between Longitude and Marine chronometer

Longitude vs. Marine chronometer

Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. A marine chronometer is a timepiece that is precise and accurate enough to be used as a portable time standard; it can therefore be used to determine longitude by means of celestial navigation.
