History

Which precision increase occurred when improved celestial observation during the Islamic Golden Age minimized errors?

A)More accurate Qibla determination
B)Faster meridian sundial construction
C)Simpler vertical sundial adjustments
D)Less complex horizontal sundial marking

💡 Explanation

More accurate Qibla determination became possible because minimizing parallax errors through improved instrumentation lead to increased precision via triangulation. Therefore, alignment to Mecca improved, rather than altering sundial mechanics, which still rely on shadow tracking principles.
