← ScienceWhich effect occurs on Earth's surface, because it curves spacetime?
A)Gravitational time dilation✓
B)Increased atmospheric drag
C)Blue-shifted solar radiation
D)Enhanced geomagnetic deflection
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation occurs because the stress-energy tensor causes spacetime curvature that affects clock rates; therefore, time passes slightly slower at Earth's surface; rather than atmospheric or magnetic effects, which have separate origins.
