Which geometrical consequence occurs during inaccurate planispheric projection within historic astrolabes?

💡 Explanation

Increased angular distortion arises near the limb because planispheric projection inherently maps a sphere onto a plane using stereographic projection. This causes angular deformation more at the edges, rather than uniformly affecting all positions; therefore, errors in relative positions grow greatest at the edge.
