← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes lower orbital altitudes near black holes?
A)Spacetime curvature increases gravitational gradient✓
B)Hawking radiation decreases orbital velocity
C)Frame-dragging generates kinetic energy
D)Schwarzschild radius compresses orbital paths
💡 Explanation
Extreme mass curves spacetime, therefore the increased spacetime curvature near black holes enhances the gravitational gradient holding objects in lower and tighter orbits, rather than increased radiation release or path compression.
