History

Which consequence would arise during a pilgrimage using an inaccurate astrolabe?

A)Incorrect prayer direction facing Mecca
B)Celestial sphere position easily understood
C)Sundial time accurately synchronized daily
D)Altitude reading accurately approximates distance

💡 Explanation

Incorrect prayer directions are indicated when astrolabes produce inaccurate time/altitude data, since determining qibla relies on Celestial Navigation. Calibration Drift leads to azimuthal errors; therefore, prayer direction becomes misaligned, rather than accurately determined using sundial functions.
