← HistoryWhich outcome results from slippage across an astrolabe's plates?
A)Inaccurate celestial position calculations✓
B)Increased structural integrity degradation
C)Distorted shadow projection altitudes
D)Faulty gear train engagement meshing
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate celestial position calculations occur because slippage changes angular relationships, therefore introducing errors due to incorrect angular measurements, rather than affecting physical integrity or shadows, which depend upon the *angular measurement*.
