← ScienceWhich outcome results on Earth from differential spacetime curvature around the Sun?
A)Light’s apparent blue shifting
B)Mercury’s orbit precesses slightly✓
C)GPS satellite signal strengthening
D)Increased Earth’s orbital eccentricity
💡 Explanation
Mercury's orbit precesses more than predicted by Newtonian physics because gravity warps spacetime near the Sun, altering its trajectory due to General Relativity. Therefore, the orbit precesses; rather than changes in color, signal strength, or eccentricity; those are affected by separate phenomena.
