Time Moves Faster The Farther Away You Are From The Surface Of The Earth
Question: Does time move slower when you are closer to the center of the Earth?
Answer: Einstein’s theory of relativity dictates that the closer you are to the center of the Earth, the slower time goes.
For example, at the top of Mount Everest, a year would be about 15 microseconds shorter than at sea level.
Scientists have tested Einstein’s theory of relativity at the small distances we travel up and down every day. Using the world’s most precise clocks, they confirmed that our wristwatches tick at a slightly different speed when we ride an elevator, climb a flight of stairs, or even sit upright in bed.

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, big objects with lots of gravity planets or stars bend the fabric of time and space, like bowling balls on a trampoline.
The closer you get to these objects, the stronger the pull of gravity and the slower time moves. If an astronaut watched a clock fall into a black hole, he or she would see its hands gradually slow down as the pull of gravity increases. The second hand would move tick once every hour, then once every decade, and finally appear to stop altogether.
