Which phenomenon causes lower orbital altitudes near black holes?

💡 Explanation

Extreme mass curves spacetime, therefore the increased spacetime curvature near black holes enhances the gravitational gradient holding objects in lower and tighter orbits, rather than increased radiation release or path compression.
