History

During celestial navigation, which outcome affects the accuracy of positional fixes due to slow clock mechanisms?

A)Elliptical orbit calculation errors
B)Spherical aberration in lenses
C)Accumulation of angular errors
D)Parallax shift misinterpretation

💡 Explanation

Positional accuracy degrades because time errors cause accumulated angular errors; the slow clock induces systematic inaccuracies during the observation period, affecting the measured angles; therefore, accumulated error leads to fix errors, rather than elliptical estimation offsets.
