How does gravity affect time?

Answer 1

The greater the gravitational field, the slower time runs on a clock in that field, relative to a clock further away. Check out this wiki article to keep this straight. It's frequently said that "things inside a block hole have frozen time" relative to things outside it, but that's speaking loosely.

Answer 2

How Does Gravity Affect Time

Answer 3

Time and Acceleration are closely bond together which means, anything which affects Light, also affects Time.
Now picture space as a table clothe. A massive Object lays in it which bends the clothe. Anything moving across the clothe passing the massive Object would automatically be attracted as soon it hits the curved part. This is the Theory of Gravity.
The "slowing down" of Light and Time, isn t really happening. If you would be in a Spaceship within the gravitational pull of a Black Hole for example, you wouldn t experience any difference in Time and Speed whatsoever. Only an outside observer who isn t affected by the gravity, would see your ship barely moving.
This has mostly to do with the distance you are travelling. The greater the distance the gravity affects the space time, the larger the distortion and difference in time between time in the gravitational pull and outside observer.
I hope this is somehow helpful there isn t any easier way for me to explain it without going deep into Theories and equations.

Answer 4

gravity bends space and that is why we fall towards earth
time and space dilate at high speeds[so dose mass]
[I think that when the mass is gained,the objects gravity increases.gravity bends space and time]

this means that gravity slows down time

Answer 5

Gravity tends to slow down time.

Answer 6

Gravity warps the time/space continuim. Simply stated, gravity creates time, as required by the "local" and hence "causal" nature of matter and bound energy. It is the local nature of bound energy which necessitates, for reasons of energy conservation, the strict observance of the order of cause and effect. Time and gravity are required by matter's causal nature. Gravity creates and is created by the intrinsic one-way motion of the time dimension, producing not only the temporal entropy drive of matter and our "present moment", but also the historic conservation domain of information - matter's causal matrix. This might be expressed more succinctly in the intuitive terms of Eastern metaphysics by saying that gravity creates the karmic links of time. The universal historic information matrix of matter is the reason for the long-range dimensional character of the gravitational force. Gravity joins us and our present moment to the entire Universe in unbroken causal connections extending backward and outward in spacetime to the "Creation Event" or "Big Bang" itself.

Hummmm. Does it??????
