History

Which consequence occurred if holes on early astrolabes were misaligned?

A)Incorrect altitude angle measurements occur
B)Premature corrosion of brass components
C)Reduced thermal expansion tolerance found
D)Increased manufacturing labor time needed

💡 Explanation

Incorrect altitude angle measurement appears, because parallax error impacted angular readings via inaccurate sights using inaccurate pinhole alignment creating observation errors; therefore altitudes were off, rather than material failure/manufacturing delays.
