← HistoryWhich consequence results from imperfections in medieval astrolabe alidade construction?
A)Elliptical planetary orbit miscalculation develops
B)Sighting parallax error increases moderately✓
C)Celestial sphere projection shifts wildly
D)User respiratory distress is subtly amplified
💡 Explanation
Increased parallax error arises because inaccuracies within the alidade's manufacturing directly affects the precision of the angular measurements, utilizing the principle of geometric alignment; therefore leading to greater parallax error due to imperfect angular sighting rather than any miscalculation arising from theoretical frameworks.
