← HistoryWhich navigational error increases as latitude increases, resulting from utilizing a planispheric astrolabe projecting a spherical sky onto a flat plane?
A)Increased temporal distortion
B)Elevated calculated prayer times
C)Heightened angular deformation✓
D)Diminished lunar visibility
💡 Explanation
Significant angular deformation increases with distance from the projection's center in planispheric astrolabes because they attempt to represent a sphere as a flat surface using stereographic projection. Therefore, using linear measurements introduces angular errors, rather than temporal or visibility problems inherent to astrolabes.
