Relativity
Gravitational Time Dilation Calculator
Calculates how gravity slows time near massive objects using Einstein's general relativity. Use it when comparing elapsed time at different distances from a planet, star, or black hole.

Relativity
Time Dilation Calculator (Velocity)
Calculates the dilated (coordinate) time experienced by a stationary observer when a moving clock ticks off a given proper time at relativistic speeds. Essential for understanding special relativity and GPS corrections.
