Question

what limitations did the astrolabe have that the magnetic compass did not? a. could not be used in extremely dry or humid locations b. could not be used more than fifteen miles away from any coast c. could not be used when bad weather limited the sky’s visibility d. could not be used late in the evening or at high altitudes

Explanation:

An astrolabe is an ancient astronomical instrument used for navigation and determining the positions of celestial bodies. It requires clear - sky visibility to function as it relies on observing stars, planets, etc. Bad weather that limits sky visibility makes it inoperable. A magnetic compass, on the other hand, uses the Earth's magnetic field and is not affected by sky visibility.

Answer:

C. could not be used when bad weather limited the sky’s visibility
