History

Which consequence resulted from imprecise planispheric astrolabe plate crafting?

A)Inaccurate celestial altitude determination
B)Increased instrument cracking under pressure
C)Accelerated corrosion from copper oxidation
D)Unreliable gear synchronization frequency

💡 Explanation

Celestial altitudes relied on accurately etched plates, therefore even minor planispheric astrolabe plate inaccuracies created large differences in the projected angles, impacting altitude determination, because measurements shifted due to representational skew, rather than structural failings or material reactions.
