# Air Traffic Controller

You guide planes safely in the sky and on the ground.

Many planes share the same sky at once. You use grids, coordinates, and motion to keep every one of them a safe distance apart.

## The topics behind it

- [Relative Motion](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/relative-motion-mt_-OndzpVsrv): Two planes moving near each other need careful watching.
- [Reading Distance-Time Graphs](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/reading-distance-time-graphs-mt_OUv-QXmW7_): Distance-time graphs show where a plane will be soon.
- [Reading Maps: Symbols and Grids](https://lightmysky.com/learn/geography/reading-maps-symbols-and-grids-mt__Xl9qT-B20): You read symbols and grids to place every plane on the map.
- [Similarity and enlargement](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/similarity-and-enlargement-mt_y-BuQAfw4B): Coordinates pin down each plane's exact spot in the sky.
- [Measurable attributes of objects](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/measurable-attributes-of-objects-mt_NtJYlJdUe9): You judge height, gaps, and spacing all at once.
- [Listening and responding](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/listening-and-responding-mt_mB7DVai-Uf): You speak clearly and listen to every pilot so planes stay apart.
