← ScienceWhich effect on observed motion results because Earth exists within curved spacetime?
A)Gravitational time dilation slowing clocks✓
B)Uniform orbital plane for all planets
C)Galactic recession redshifting all stars
D)Conservation of angular orbital momentum
💡 Explanation
The effect is due to general relativity, where gravitational time dilation causes clocks in stronger gravitational fields to tick slower. Earth curves spacetime, concentrating gravity; therefore clocks run slightly slower here rather than at points further from a mass.
