History

Which limitation constrained medieval Islamic astronomers calculating parallax?

A)Inaccurate celestial sphere models
B)Limited atmospheric refraction knowledge
C)Restricted direct observational data
D)Insufficient trigonometric function precision

💡 Explanation

Parallax calculations needed high-precision angle measurements, but limited mathematical function precision caused calculation errors, especially for distant stars. Therefore, parallax accuracy diminished, rather than limitations from models, atmosphere, or amount of data.
