[time-nuts] Re: gravity fields affect time keeping?

[Deirdre O'Byrne]

It's due to Gravitational Time Dilation -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

According to the calculator at
https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/gravitational-time-dilation clocks
on the moon tick about 6.6e-10 faster than those on Earth, or about 0.057ms
per (Earth) day.
