Which accuracy risk increases when an astrolabe's alidade is misaligned?

💡 Explanation

Solar time error increases because the alidade's misalignment affects angular measurements to the sun, causing inaccurate time calculations. Therefore, solar time is wrong rather than ecliptic longitude, which is less dependent on precise alidade alignment, or horizon/declination errors.
