Final answer:

The speaker refers to the astronomer as 'learn'd' due to the lack of interest in the astronomer's knowledge.


Explanation:

The speaker calls the astronomer 'learn'd' because the astronomer possesses knowledge that doesn't interest the speaker. The poem 'When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer' conveys a sense of disconnect between intellectual knowledge and personal experience. The speaker finds the astronomer's academic knowledge uninteresting and prefers a more direct, intuitive connection with the universe.
