← HistoryWhich outcome arises when incorrect mater latitude scaling occurs on an astrolabe?
A)Inaccurate solar time measurements✓
B)Compromised horizon line identification
C)Invalid celestial body triangulation
D)Distorted stellar magnitude calculations
💡 Explanation
Incorrect latitude scaling affects the stereographic projection; therefore solar time extracted from altitude readings becomes inaccurate because the projection yields incorrect altitude angles, rather than affecting horizon or star calculations directly.
