← HistoryWhich outcome arises from inaccurate allignment of astrolabe components?
A)Errors in celestial altitude calculations✓
B)Increased instrument manufacturing cost
C)Decreased material thermal expansion rates
D)Enhanced navigation on land alone
💡 Explanation
Misalignment in an astrolabe introduces parallax error, because the angular measurements are skewed relative to the true positions in the sky, especially altitude. Therefore, calculation accuracy drops, including altitude, rather than affecting cost or material properties.
