Answer:

Weaken the image of the star

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the defect in lens occurs when the light beam deflected by the lens is dispersed in its constituent colors. When the light beam deflected by the lens is dispersed in its constituent colors the image formed by the lens is not just a single point image it scatters images according to different colors of the light.

There are two types of chromatic aberration

Lateral chromatic aberration:

The images formed in lateral chromatic aberration the image of stars is shifted to sideways of the real appearance of star.

Longitudinal chromatic aberration

The images formed in longitudinal chromatic aberration the image of stars is enlarged longitudinally to the real appearance of star. Thus, the image formed in this case is weaken longitudinally

When stars are observed from the earth the due to longitudinal chromatic aberration the image of star is weaken.
