While there is a time dilation effect in Special Relativity, it is not the same thing that happens in the presence of gravitational fields. I've updated the question tags due to this. | |

Question involves a GR effect, not an SR effect. Changed tags accordingly

For the Earth, $r_s\approx8.870056$ mm. | |
