Which outcome results when an astrolabe, crafted with brass and used outdoors, measures angular height over time?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion alters sighting accuracy because the galvanic corrosion mechanism pits and weakens the metal over time due to exposure to moisture and salts. Therefore, astrolabe accuracy diminishes rather than increases, because of wear, rather than remaining unaffected or self-correcting.
