← ScienceWhich risk increases when GPS satellite atomic clocks measure slower?
A)Ionospheric signal propagation delay
B)Ephemeris data processing latency
C)Positioning accuracy degrades rapidly✓
D)Ground station communication disruptions occur
💡 Explanation
Positioning accuracy gets worse because General Relativity predicts time dilation due to weaker gravitational potential via spacetime; therefore satellite clocks must adjust their frequency rather than maintaining onboard time measurements, different from ground-based inertial frames.
