In what ways did Europeans owe some of their sailing technology to other peoples of the world?
They used the astrolabe and compass. The astrolabe was invented by Muslims, and the compass by the Chinese.
What happened as a direct result of europeans use of the astrolabe?
Astrolabes were first widely used in the Middle Ages and by about 1450AD they were in use by navigators. They allowed navigators to calculate the position of the Sun and stars from the horizon. Their use was the first step toward scientific navigation. The great age of exploration was coincidental with their use.
The astrolabe was associated with?
alchemy is the wrong answer culo hole
What technology did the Dutch use for exploring?
The astrolabe, jackstaff and the compass.
What were two inventions that improved navigation?
the compass and the astrolabe.
What navigation instrument is used to determine a ship's position at sea?
Astrolabe.
What is the mapping navigation and construction in astrolabe?
From Greek astron "star" and lambanein "to take". It permits astral navigation and mapmaking.
What are the instruments in navigation?
the instruments in navigation are gps's, kamals, sextants, cross staff, back staff, mariners astrolabe, quadrant, and octants :)
What did the astrolabe navigation device use to determne direction latitude and local time?
the sun
Instrument for taking altitude of sun or stars?
The sextant is used in celestial navigation.
How did an astrolabe help sailors?
An astrolabe helped sailors because it could determine any direction based on the position of the stars. This is why the astrolabe helped sailors.
What are 4 inventions developed during the renaissance which made navigation easier?
compass, astrolabe cross-staff, back-staff
What is more important to a ship a caravel astrolabe or magnetic compass?
Both the caravel astrolabe and the magnetic compass are important navigation tools for a ship, but the magnetic compass is generally considered more crucial. The compass provides a reliable and constant indication of the ship's direction, allowing for accurate navigation even when visibility is limited. The caravel astrolabe, on the other hand, is used to measure the altitude of celestial objects to determine latitude, and while it is helpful for navigation, it is not as essential as the magnetic compass.
What technological improvements made exploation by sea possible in the 1400?
The compass and the astrolabe made navigation by sea, and therefore exploration, possible.
How did the astrolabe help the explorers?
it helped them locate their latitude
Did Muslim scientists improve the astrolabe?
Yes. Astrolabes were further developed in the medieval Islamic world. The Muslim astronomers added angular scales to the astrolabe as well as circles that indicated azimuths on the horizon. This modified astrolabe was widely used throughout the Muslim world. Its main purpose was to aid in navigation and as a way of finding the proper direction for prayer. The first Muslim polymath credited with creating such an astrolabe was Muhammad al-Fazari.
