← ScienceWhich effect on a GPS satellite results from its motion affecting recorded spacetime?
A)Slight clock timing errors✓
B)Antenna signal strength loss
C)Increased data transfer latency
D)Power supply efficiency decrease
💡 Explanation
GPS satellites experience time dilation because of their orbital velocity per special relativity, therefore their onboard clocks run slower relative to ground stations; without adjustments the **Sagnac effect** causes position errors rather than power or antenna signal degradation.
