Which mechanism causes increasing perihelion precession of Mercury?

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature near massive objects causes geodesic paths to deviate; thus, gravity warps spacetime around the Sun, causing Mercury's orbit to precess via *gravitational lensing*. Therefore, curvature explains anomalous precession, rather than Newtonian gravity failing, or the exclusion of other solar system influences.
