← HistoryWhich approximation increased in accuracy because of increased medieval observatory capacity?
A)Estimating lunar parallax shifts
B)Determining stellar chemical composition
C)Calculating planetary orbital eccentricity✓
D)Predicting solar neutrino production
💡 Explanation
Increased observatory capacity improved the precision of astrolabes which enabled Renaissance astronomers to better determine planetary positions; determining orbital elements through the kepler equation follows. Therefore, eccentricity calculations became more accurate rather than parallax, composition or neutrino insights.
