Which outcome occurs during noon-time observations by medieval astrolabes?

💡 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.
