Question

Which technological development enabled

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the answer is (2) astrolabe.

Explanation:

By definition an astrolabe is an instrument formerly used to make astronomical measurements, typically of the altitudes of celestial bodies, and in navigation for calculating latitude, before the development of the sextant. In its basic form (known from classical times), it consists of a disk with the edge marked in degrees and a pivoted pointer.

Answer 2

The technological development that enabled European navigators to determine their location during the Age of Exploration is called astrolabe. So the correct option for the question is option “2”. Astrolabe is an instrument that is used for making astronomical measurements in regards to finding the latitude of a place. The latitude of the place is actually determined using the position of celestial bodies. This was a new method of calculating latitude of places in the seas and oceans where there was no landmark.
