← ScienceWhich risk increases because navigation satellites experience relativistic effects impacting spacetime?
A)Signal drift induces location error✓
B)Component failure raises radiation exposure
C)Atomic clock inhibits ionization trails
D)Gyroscope drift causes oscillator attenuation
💡 Explanation
Signal drift induces location error because the satellites' time dilation relative to ground stations affects spacetime. General relativity causes spacetime curvature near massive objects; therefore uncorrected time differences accumulate, rather than ionization.
