Which navigational outcome arises when humid air affects a brass-framed sextant's scale?

💡 Explanation

Changes in humidity cause differential Thermal expansion within the brass components of the sextant, thus causing Scale distortion. This yields an inaccurate celestial body altitude reading because of the altered angular divisions, rather than parallax or horizon clarity issues.
