Which mechanism affecting GPS accuracy arises because Earth's gravity curves spacetime?

💡 Explanation

GPS satellites experience gravitational time dilation due to Earth's spacetime curvature; clocks tick slower at lower gravitational potential. Therefore, if uncorrected, time dilation causes large navigational errors, rather than atmospheric or orbital perturbations with distance.
