🇬🇧 Resolution meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Resolution is how sharp and clear a picture looks on a screen or through a microscope. When something has high resolution, you can see lots of tiny details, like individual hairs on a bug’s leg or every little dot in a picture. When the resolution is low, the image looks blurry or blocky, and small details are hard to see. So, resolution tells us how good an image is at showing small, detailed parts clearly.
