When brass astrolabes experience corrosion in humid conditions, which measurement error increases?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion roughens the alidade's surface, causing parallax error because the alidade sighting anglevariance shifts more than the large scale engravings therefore azimuth or hour angles, rather than declination, are harder to sight precisely.
