← ScienceWhich effect results when the mass of a navigation satellite increases?
A)Orbital period decreases noticeably
B)Ground clock appears to slow
C)Spactime curvature increases locally✓
D)Signal attenuation experiences sharp rises
💡 Explanation
Increased satellite mass enhances the local spacetime curvature, because this distortion affects how clocks tick differentially, therefore the gravitational time dilation increases rather than slowing of the ground clock because spacetime is only affected around the more massive object.
