← HistoryWhich navigational outcome resulted from Islamic scholars enhancing the mechanical accuracy of astrolabes?
A)Precise celestial positioning at sea✓
B)Improved global trade route mapping
C)Accurate longitudinal celestial charting
D)More effective solar energy harvesting
💡 Explanation
When Islamic scholars improved astrolabe accuracy, more precise angle measurement was possible because of refined construction techniques, improving celestial positioning. Therefore precise celestial positioning at sea becomes reliable, rather than route mapping, charting or energy harvesting, which depend on related but distinct mechanisms and systems.
