Time Dilation Due to Gravity
Calculates time dilation due to gravity.
The calculation uses the Schwarzschild solution.
The default values for the input variables are based on Earth’s data.

| Observer’s time T | Seconds |
| Ratio of escape velocity to the speed of light: v/c | % |
The stronger the gravitational field, the slower time passes for an object as observed by an observer.
