... Time runs more slowly on Earth than it does on the Moon, and
more slowly on an artificial satellite than on Earth's surface.
As a timely example, since selective availability has just been turned

their clocks run more slowly due to an SR effect, and faster due to
a GR effect. Which effect do you suppose is dominant?
GPS is the only
consumer product I know that depends upon GR for its function.
