← ScienceWhich risk increases when a GPS satellite's clock isn't corrected through the General Relativistic factor?
A)Accumulation positioning error increases rapidly✓
B)Signal transmission degrades unexpectedly
C)Orbital precession exceeds tolerance limits
D)Solar panel efficiency degrades gradually
💡 Explanation
Without accounting for relativistic time dilation, GPS accuracy degrades because General Relativity causes a discrepancy between satellite and ground-based clocks manifesting as an increase in the *accumulation positioning error*. Therefore, positioning error escalates rather than any alternative signal degradation because it reflects the equivalence principle altering time's observed passage.
