History

Which function increased from observed parallax during Medieval Islamic astronomy?

A)Accurate measurement of celestial distances
B)Precise calculation of projectile trajectories
C)Prediction of daily local temperatures
D)Determination of terrestrial magnetic declination

💡 Explanation

Improved parallax measurements increased the accuracy of computing celestial distances based on observed angular shifts, using triangulation, because smaller stellar parallax meant objects were further; therefore, astronomical distance calculations became refined, rather than affecting temperature.
