Which consequence resulted from inaccuracies in astrolabe scales used for astronomical observations?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate astrolabe scales impaired ANGLE MEASUREMENT which relies on precise geometric relationships between celestial bodies and the observer. Therefore, calculated time and location data were skewed, leading to navigational errors at sea, rather than affecting land-based engineering.
