History

Which outcome results when parallax calculations in ancient astrolabes used inaccurate celestial coordinates to solve equations?

A)Higher refraction calculation errors
B)Azimuthal distortion increases notably
C)Inaccurate time keeping results
D)Declination alignment is maintained though

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate coordinates cause timekeeping errors because ancient astronomers solved algebraic equations embedded within astrolabe designs which depend on correct coordinate inputs relying on the parallax effect; therefore, incorrect time is indicated, rather than preserving alignment accuracy or reducing refraction issues.
