An environmental scientist is analyzing two digital satellite images of the exact same 5 km×5 km5\text{ km} \times 5\text{ km}5 km×5 km forest reserve.
Image A is captured with a resolution of 800×800 800 \times 800\,800×800 pixels. Image B is captured with a resolution of 4800×4800 4800 \times 4800\,4800×4800 pixels.
Both images are displayed at full-screen size on the same square diagnostic monitor.
Explain one reason why Image B will display the canopy structure with significantly greater clarity and detail than Image A.
