Question
History

Which consequence resulted from errors aligning quadrants for calculating planetary positions using a medieval astronomical astrolabe?

A)Parallax increased, distorting star charts
B)Observed right ascension deviated
C)Ecliptic skew altered celestial azimuth
D)Declination readings exhibited greater errors

💡 Explanation

Declination accuracy decreased because misalignment induced systematic errors impacting measurements from the meridian and horizon planes involving angular calculation; therefore, incorrect angle measurements occurred, rather than affecting parallax or skew altering other celestial aspects.
