Which effect occurs when a GPS satellite's clock speed deviates from ground-based time?

💡 Explanation

GPS satellites experience both time dilation and gravitational redshift; the spacetime interval contracts. The receiver compensates for this effect, because without a runtime **spacetime interval skew compensation**, positional errors would accumulate rapidly; therefore compensation is essential, rather than merely a time reading error.
