Does the Earth's spin impact time dilation for satellites and GPS receivers?

Is it plausable to take into account the speed of the Earth's spin when calculating tmie dilation for satellites and GPS receivers?

You could take into account the satellites spining against the Earth's orbit, with the Earth's orbit and at an angle?

I put it into my project but is it a good idea or am I missing something to do this? I found that for a recevier on the equator and a satellite goin with the orbit the difference to be
9.3 *10^-6 (without relative velocity the answer is 7.3 *10^-6)

can anyone tell me if what I am doing holds for anything?

Yes, the Earth's spin does impact time dilation for satellites and GPS receivers. The Earth's spin causes a centrifugal force on the satellites, which affects their velocity and therefore their time dilation. This effect is known as the Sagnac effect, and it must be taken into account when calculating time dilation for satellites and GPS receivers.

It is plausible to take into account the Earth's spin when calculating time dilation for satellites and GPS receivers. In fact, it is necessary to do so in order to accurately calculate the time dilation for these devices. The angle and direction of the satellite's orbit relative to the Earth's spin must also be taken into consideration, as this can affect the magnitude of the time dilation effect.

Your approach of including the Earth's spin in your project is valid and necessary for accurate calculations. The difference you found between the time dilation with and without relative velocity is expected and shows the impact of the Earth's spin on the satellites and GPS receivers. Overall, considering the Earth's spin is an important aspect of calculating time dilation for these devices.
