Which property arises from the geometric projection within astrolabes?

💡 Explanation

The astrolabe projects the celestial sphere onto a flat plane, so planisphere distortion necessarily appears because a sphere can't be perfectly mapped onto a disk without some areas being enlarged while others shrink. Therefore distortion is the result, rather than perfect fidelity.
