🔍 Key Concepts

• Augmentation of the Moon’s semidiameter in celestial navigation tables • How the apparent size of a body changes with its altitude above the horizon • Difference between optical illusions at the horizon and real geometric effects

💭 Think About

• Think about which choice describes a real geometric change in the body’s apparent size with altitude, not just an illusion due to background contrast. • Consider which option specifically relates to the Moon’s semidiameter values you see in nautical almanacs and how those are corrected. • Ask yourself: does augmentation mainly concern the Sun, the Moon, or both, and which option reflects that correctly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves a change in apparent size with increasing altitude rather than at low altitudes. • Check which choice is about the Moon’s apparent size, consistent with augmentation tables used in navigation. • Eliminate options that only describe horizon illusions or brightness/contrast effects, which are not what navigators mean by augmentation.
