History

Which outcome results from imprecise angular scales in medieval astrolabes?

A)Height estimations become less accruate
B)Accurate star charting is preserved
C)Easier navigation near the poles
D)Easier prediction of planetary conjunctions

💡 Explanation

Parallax errors increase with scaling imprecision because similar triangles geometry depends on accurate proportions; therefore, inaccurate angular divisions result in systematic height estimation errors, rather than providing precise star charts.
