← ScienceWhich outcome limits GPS accuracy within strong gravitational fields?
A)Gravitational time dilation occurs✓
B)Signal interference increases locally
C)Atmospheric refraction becomes unpredictable
D)Clock synchronization protocols fail
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation near massive objects causes GPS satellite clocks to run slower relative to ground-based receivers because spacetime is curved. Therefore, position calculations become inaccurate if not corrected, rather than interference or refraction, which aren't relativity effects.
