Geostationary gravitational clock gain
ID: geostationary-gravitational-clock-gain
For spherical weak-field gravity, a stationary clock at radius gains the displayed proper time relative to a surface clock over coordinate interval . A geostationary orbit has . This is the potential contribution only. Combining it with orbital and surface rotational special-relativistic terms requires a consistent reference frame and must not be silently included in a gravitational-only comparison.
