← HistoryWhich positional outcome occurs when observing stars through a warped astrolabe?
A)Observed altitude appears systematically shifted✓
B)Star visibility gradually decreases overnight
C)Ecliptic plane appears perfectly horizontal
D)Local time correlates poorly with star position
💡 Explanation
A warped astrolabe introduces angular errors due to MANUFACTURING DEVIATION; measurements are skewed via OPTICAL MISALIGNMENT, because the alidade points to the wrong altitude. Therefore, altitude shifts rather than affecting star visibility, ecliptic alignment, or time correlations.
