Which distortion influences a GPS satellite's clock rate?

💡 Explanation

A GPS satellite experiences gravitational time dilation because its weaker gravitational field affects spacetime less than Earth's stronger field; therefore its onboard clock appears to tick faster relative to a terrestrial observer, rather than by orbital mechanics.
