← ScienceWhich mechanism affects a GPS satellite's atomic clock accuracy within Earth's gravity well?
A)Gravitational time dilation✓
B)Atmospheric drag modulation
C)Relativistic Doppler effect
D)Quantum entanglement drift
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation occurs because spacetime curvature near massive objects slows time relative to distant observers; therefore, clocks at different gravitational potentials experience time differently, rather than due to drag or the Doppler effect.
