← HistoryWhich 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.
