← HistoryWhich consequence results when astronomical observations exceed an astrolabe's precision?
A)Improved parallax angle identification
B)Elevated solar orbit eccentricity
C)Cumulative error in derived coordinates✓
D)Augmented lunar orbit stability
💡 Explanation
Systematic errors accumulate overtime, causing an astrolabe to be misaligned because angular resolution limitation introduces small errors; therefore, these repeated sightings yield skewed results rather than improving coordinate accuracy or revealing deeper phenomena.
