Which effect arises on GPS satellite clocks within Earth's spacetime?

A)Gravitational time dilation dominates
B)Special relativistic effects neutralize
C)Clock rates remain synchronous
D)Increased signal propagation asymmetry

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation increases orbital clock rates, because weaker gravity at higher altitudes cause time to pass quicker according to general relativity rather than at ground level; therefore, the adjustment is necessary for accurate positioning, rather than the other listed scenarios.
