Question 1491Navigation General

The correct answer is B) the Moon. The Nautical Almanac provides corrections for various celestial bodies to account for factors such as refraction, parallax, and other influences that affect their apparent positions in the sky. A correction for augmentation is specifically included for the Moon, as the Moon's apparent size and position can be affected by its distance from the observer. The other options are incorrect because the Sun, Venus, and other planets do not require an augmentation correction in the Nautical Almanac. The augmentation correction is a specific adjustment made to account for the Moon's unique characteristics and its impact on the observer's perception of its position.
