Which consequence results when GPS satellite atomic clocks experience spacetime curvature?

A)Positional errors accumulate faster daily
B)Signal latency effects diminish measurably
C)Satellite thruster calibrations are unchanged
D)Receiver clock synchronization becomes stable

💡 Explanation

Different gravitational potentials cause time dilation due to spacetime curvature; satellite clocks run faster than ground clocks. Without correcting for General Relativity’s effects, positional errors through navigation would increase daily because the positional calculations become more inaccurate over time rather than stay consistent.
