← HistoryWhich consequence arises if astrolabe alidades experience manufacturing inaccuracies?
A)Elevated instrument parallax error✓
B)Declination accuracy improvement
C)Consistent lunar phase alignment
D)Stable planetary orbit calculation
💡 Explanation
Instrument parallax error increases because manufacturing errors in alidade alignment will cause misalignment and inaccurate angular readings. Therefore parallax error is elevated, rather than refined declination accuracy which demands precise astrolabe construction.
