Which mechanism modifies GPS satellite signal range due to curved spacetime?

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature near Earth due to its mass induces gravitational time dilation on GPS satellites; therefore, the satellite clock rate is affected, because general relativity predicts time dilation in a gravitational field, rather than other mechanisms like refraction.
