Which measurement error develops upon prolonged astrolabe use?

💡 Explanation

Constant handling of the astrolabe causes gradually loosen parts and calibration offsets, especially around the limb, introducing parallax errors; this is mechanical creep because the brass weakens slightly over time, therefore measurements drift, rather than immediate failure.
