History

Which limitation increases when a brass astrolabe undergoes significant use?

A)Measurement parallax error increases
B)Alidade arm stiffness decreases
C)Engraving legibility rapidly fades
D)Universal plate warp spontaneously occurs

💡 Explanation

Measurement parallax increases when the alidade bends because angular misalignment occurs in the sighting plane relative to the degree scale; therefore angular measurements become inaccurate when parallax increases with damage, rather than from design deficiencies.
