Which consequence would diminishing lunar parallax have caused during early Islamic astronomical observation?

💡 Explanation

Underestimating Earth's size would occur, because lunar parallax measurement fundamentally depended on a baseline related to this unknown distance. Measurements depended on triangulation; therefore a smaller calculated parallax due to larger Earth-Moon distance yields smaller derived Earth size, rather than other observational errors.
