Which inaccuracy arose when early astrolabes were heated?

💡 Explanation

Material thermal expansion causes the astrolabe's components to expand unevenly, altering the precise angular relationships etched onto the instrument; therefore, calculations become less accurate, because readings are based on shifted reference points rather than true astronomical positions.
