Which outcome occurs when a GPS satellite's gravitational potential energy increases at orbital altitude, relative to Earth's surface?

💡 Explanation

An increased gravitational potential implies decreased gravitational field experienced locally because of the equivalence principle; therefore time dilation causes the satellite's on-board clock to run faster, rather than other distortions in signal propagation that alter the time reported.
