Depends on how high their orbit is. The special relativistic effect is greater in low
orbit, but it's dominated by the gravitational effect in higher orbits.

In my 25 May post my use of the word believe is meant to mean “believe”. It means am
not certain. What is your answer to my question?

What I believe is that time does not slow down when you go fast.
Well it does, as measured in the reference frame in which the object is going fast. This
is an indisputable measurable effect which has been confirmed by atomic clocks flown in
jets, by satellites and of course by particles in accelerators.
I told you using the word "believe" when you talk about physics (except in a colloquial
sense, to mean something like "if I remember correctly") was a bad idea.
