Which timing error arises on GPS satellites because of relativistic effects?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational fields curve spacetime, so stronger gravity near Earth causes gravitational time dilation. Clocks on satellites run faster because satellites experience weaker gravity; therefore, uncorrected data would accumulate errors, rather than result from altered signal speed.
