Which limit on Viking longship navigation increased due to magnetic variation?

💡 Explanation

Celestial navigation using sunstones depended on accurate angles; however, magnetic variation introduced angular errors, because the perceived direction differed from true north, therefore sunstone accuracy decreased, rather than direct visual range issues.
