Which outcome occurs when a high-precision GPS satellite clock experiences weaker gravitational potential in orbit?

A)Clock runs increasingly faster
B)Clock runs increasingly slower
C)Received signal constantly fluctuates
D)Spacetime fabric tears unexpectedly

💡 Explanation

Weaker gravity causes time dilation; atomic clocks run faster due to the increased geodesic interval via gravitational time dilation effects. Therefore, a clock will run faster in a weaker, more positive gravitational potential, rather than slowing down because stronger dilation would result opposite.
