← ScienceWhich effect increases on a satellite clock when gravitationally equivalent acceleration diminishes?
A)Gravitational time dilation decreases✓
B)Orbital induced frame-dragging vanishes
C)Satellite orbital period increases
D)Clock rate variation stabilizes thermally
💡 Explanation
Because gravitational acceleration dictates spacetime curvature near the satellite, diminishing acceleration will reduce the gravitational time dilation effect; therefore, the effect decreases, rather than another factor changing because other conditions remain constant.
