Which mechanism causes a change in satellite clock rates when orbiting a massive planet?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation affects satellite clocks because the spacetime curvature near a massive object alters the rate of time passage. Therefore, the satellite's clock appears to run faster relative to an observer on the planet, rather than atmospheric drag influencing its momentum.
