← HistoryWhich outcome likely increased star visibility during nighttime astronomical observations using al-Biruni era domes?
A)Enhanced atmospheric refraction of starlight
B)Cooler airflow reduced air turbulence✓
C)Mirrors corrected chromatic aberration distortion
D)Lens grinding reduced light scattering
💡 Explanation
Cooler nighttime airflow descends within the dome because of thermal convection, reducing internal air turbulence. Therefore, seeing conditions improved, enabling clearer viewing of stars, rather than refraction changes or mirror-based/lens aided optic elements.
