Which outcome occurs as the equant point shifted in Ptolemaic astronomical models?

💡 Explanation

Observed planetary motions appeared non-uniform because the *eccentricity* relative to Earth shifted. This increased complexity, rather than eliminating it, to improve accuracy with observations; therefore the visible speed changes, not lunar changes.
