Which outcome arises when a GPS satellite signal passes through compressed atmospheric conditions?

💡 Explanation

Signal refraction increases path length because atmospheric density causes increased curvature, and therefore additional time delay; the signal arrival is delayed rather than advanced because the refractive index increases with pressure.
