← HistoryWhich 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.
