← HistoryWhich observational outcome resulted from increased astrolabe limb graduations during medieval Islamic astronomy?
A)More precise celestial altitude measurements✓
B)Faster celestial event calculations
C)Simpler planetary orbit determinations
D)Reduced metal casting material requirements
💡 Explanation
Increased limb graduations refined angular measurement because the Vernier scale afforded finer reading resolution. Therefore, altitude measurements improved, rather than simplifying calculations which relate to algorithmic efficiency, especially given computational tool use.
