Which outcome arises when incorrect mater latitude scaling occurs on an astrolabe?

A)Inaccurate solar time measurements
B)Compromised horizon line identification
C)Invalid celestial body triangulation
D)Distorted stellar magnitude calculations

💡 Explanation

Incorrect latitude scaling affects the stereographic projection; therefore solar time extracted from altitude readings becomes inaccurate because the projection yields incorrect altitude angles, rather than affecting horizon or star calculations directly.
