Here is the awkward part. Those clocks do not tick at the same rate as the clock on your wrist. Up there, further from the mass of the planet, time runs slightly faster.

That sounds like nothing. It is not. Light travels about thirty centimetres in a billionth of a second, so an uncorre...

That sounds like nothing. It is not. Light travels about thirty centimetres in a billionth of a second, so an uncorrected error of that size grows into roughly ten kilometres of position error per day.
