← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-precision GPS satellite clock experiences weaker gravitational potential in orbit?
A)Clock runs increasingly faster✓
B)Clock runs increasingly slower
C)Received signal constantly fluctuates
D)Spacetime fabric tears unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Weaker gravity causes time dilation; atomic clocks run faster due to the increased geodesic interval via gravitational time dilation effects. Therefore, a clock will run faster in a weaker, more positive gravitational potential, rather than slowing down because stronger dilation would result opposite.
