Which navigational risk rises as chronometers experience large temperature fluctuations?

💡 Explanation

Temperature affects a balance spring's oscillation rate through thermal expansion, causing time drift. The chronometer employs thermal compensation; however, rapid changes overwhelm this, therefore the ship accumulates longitude error faster, rather than influencing observed celestial data's inherent accuracy.
