← HistoryWhich outcome arises during equinox calculations using flawed parameters for solar parallax in early Islamic astrolabes?
A)Inaccurate shadow length estimations✓
B)Star position catalogue errors
C)Faulty gear train stress distribution
D)Deformations in the mater's curvature
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate solar parallax estimations lead to flawed equinox calculations, therefore causing incorrect altitude readings and subsequent shadow length estimations, rather than positional star errors, because the altitude calculations rely upon measurements from the sun.
