An atomic clock's time dilation near a neutron star differs from one on Earth. Which mechanism primarily explains this variation in measured time?

💡 Explanation

The clock near the neutron star experiences stronger gravitational time dilation because its spacetime curvature is significantly greater than Earth's; therefore, time elapses more slowly relative to Earth, rather than being primarily influenced by other relativistic effects.
