Which outcome arises in accurate medieval Islamic planispheric astrolabes if the gnomon is misaligned during solar altitude measurement?

💡 Explanation

An error in measuring the Sun's altitude will alter the perceived zenith distance because the device relies on accurate angular measurements. Therefore, calculating time or making other astronomical calculations is affected, rather than solely altering other mathematical representations independent of accurate angular input measurements.
