Which timing difference arises from satellites orbiting Earth?

A)Gravitational time dilation effects spacetime
B)Atmospheric drag slows clocks down
C)Battery discharge rate variation appears
D)Data transmission latency accumulates non-linearly

💡 Explanation

Atomic clocks at different distances exhibit gravitational time dilation; spacetime curves because Earth's mass affects closer clocks less. Therefore, they tick faster rather than because drag affects clocks; atmospheric drag affects the orbit instead.
