← HistoryWhich outcome results when parallax calculations in ancient astrolabes used inaccurate celestial coordinates to solve equations?
A)Higher refraction calculation errors
B)Azimuthal distortion increases notably
C)Inaccurate time keeping results✓
D)Declination alignment is maintained though
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate coordinates cause timekeeping errors because ancient astronomers solved algebraic equations embedded within astrolabe designs which depend on correct coordinate inputs relying on the parallax effect; therefore, incorrect time is indicated, rather than preserving alignment accuracy or reducing refraction issues.
