← HistoryWhich outcome reliably enables accurate timekeeping using astrolabes?
A)Angular altitude measurement precision✓
B)Planetary epicycle eccentricity changes
C)Lunar parallax position correction
D)Stellar aberration correction minimization
💡 Explanation
High altitude astrometry achieves precise timekeeping because angular measurement enables pinpointing celestial altitudes relative to coordinate system altitudes, therefore allowing calculation of local time, rather than relying only inaccurate ecliptic shifts.
