Which navigational error grows when observations through a sextant use an inaccurate artificial horizon?

💡 Explanation

System altitude error accrues due to incorrect horizon references; specifically refraction error becomes significant, because the measured angle relies on a faulty baseline. Therefore, measured angles are off systematically, rather than inducing displacement or affecting other navigational factors.
