Which consequence results when a high-altitude weather balloon ascends?

A)Data transmission frequency decreases slightly
B)Internal pressure increases exponentially faster
C)Balloon volume decreases due to gravity
D)Temperature readings become excessively precise

💡 Explanation

A time dilation effect occurs following Einstein’s equivalence principle because increasing gravitational potential means the balloon's onboard clock experiences time relatively faster than ground-based receivers; therefore the data transmissions appear to have a decreased frequency, rather than altering the mechanical properties.
