History

Which outcome results when the geared astrolabe uses inaccurate angle representation in algebraic calculations?

A)Precise timekeeping becomes unattainable
B)Star positions show systematic error
C)Planetary parallax is incorrectly computed
D)Lunar phases lose long-term accuracy

💡 Explanation

Star position error occurs because the angle mapping error introduces a calculation mismatch, affecting the predicted stellar coordinates due to error propagantion. Therefore, inaccurate angular measure results in positional error, rather than uniquely preventing timekeeping, or influencing parallax/lunar phase observations.
