Systematic error will come from an error in your measuring apparatus. Maybe your vernier is not zeroed. Maybe the diffraction grating is cheap and the lines/cm is not accurate, etc.So every measurement will be in error because of inaccurate

Yes, the weather forecast is sometimes impossible to believe! Causes of error may be very different from honest mistakes, to selfish interest.
