Gravitational time dilation in weak field

A plane flies at a constant height $h$. I should calculate, which speed $v$ the plane shoud have, such that an observer on ground sees the a clock whithin the plane tick in the same rate as a clock on ...

Gravity Time Dilation interior to a planet

Regarding Gravity Time Dilation: We know that, in a stronger gravitational field, time passes more slowly. As one descends below the Earth's surface, how does the intensity of gravitational pull ...

Does a clock oscillating in a friction-free hole through the center of a planet run slower than a stationary clock on the surface?

Assume a clock is dropped into a friction-free hole through the center of a symmetric, non-rotating planet, far from any other massive object. Clearly, the clock oscillates from one end of the hole to ...
