Which increased risk affected celestial navigation during the Little Ice Age?

💡 Explanation

Astronomical positions rely on observing horizon angles; the mechanism of atmospheric refraction makes readings unreliable when thick fog obstructs observations in the colder than usual conditions, because accurate angle measurement becomes nearly impossible; therefore navigation depended on dead reckoning, rather than celestial sightings.
