Which effect on observed motion results because Earth exists within curved spacetime?

A)Gravitational time dilation slowing clocks
B)Uniform orbital plane for all planets
C)Galactic recession redshifting all stars
D)Conservation of angular orbital momentum

💡 Explanation

The effect is due to general relativity, where gravitational time dilation causes clocks in stronger gravitational fields to tick slower. Earth curves spacetime, concentrating gravity; therefore clocks run slightly slower here rather than at points further from a mass.
