← HistoryWhich outcome occurs during noon-time observations by medieval astrolabes?
A)Unreliable shadow projection occurs.✓
B)Reduced visual errors exist.
C)Increased instrument warping happens.
D)Celestial tracking is more precise.
💡 Explanation
Unreliable shadow projection occurs due to decreased shadow length midday; the increased solar angle causes reduced shadow resolution via shadow refraction, rather than sharp definition because astrolabes rely on accurate stellar occultation and altitudes; therefore, observations are less reliable rather than more suitable.
