Which consequence results from inaccuracies constructing brass astrolabes during zenith star observations?

A)Ecliptic tilt measure is subtly skewed
B)Solstice shadow durations miscalculate consistently
C)Planetary orbit projections become more complex
D)Sidereal time calculation becomes more simplified

💡 Explanation

Ecliptic tilt deviates slightly because systematic errors in marking zenith star positions propagate via angular misalignments during construction causing subtle distortions in projecting the celestial sphere on the planispheric projection; therefore the observed ecliptic might become skewed, rather than shadows or time calculations being simplifed.
