← HistoryWhich outcome results from imprecise angular scales in medieval astrolabes?
A)Height estimations become less accruate✓
B)Accurate star charting is preserved
C)Easier navigation near the poles
D)Easier prediction of planetary conjunctions
💡 Explanation
Parallax errors increase with scaling imprecision because similar triangles geometry depends on accurate proportions; therefore, inaccurate angular divisions result in systematic height estimation errors, rather than providing precise star charts.
