← HistoryWhich outcome occurred historically when astrolabes experienced thermal expansion?
A)Reduced accuracy of celestial measurements✓
B)Improved alignment precision incrementally
C)Enhanced material durability overall
D)Greater ease of use at night
💡 Explanation
Reduced accuracy occurred because thermal expansion distorts the physical structure (brass components) through Thermal Stress, therefore introducing systematic angular errors in readings, rather than enhancing use since brass material properties change across temp.
