Does gravitational time dilation occur to objects in free fall?
Wikipedia says that “Gravitational time dilation (GTD) is a consequence of Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity [...] a clock at a different gravitational potential is found to tick at a different rate than one’s own clock.”
“clocks which are far from massive bodies (or at higher gravitational potentials) run faster, and clocks close to massive bodies (or at lower gravitational potentials) run slower.”
Is this due to the fact that the higher clock is simply further away from the earth than my clock, or because it experiences less pull from gravity?
If two objects were released from different heights (so were both in free fall), would they have the same GTD because they are not experiencing any effect of the gravity, or would they have different GTD because they are at different heights (i.e. gravitational potentials) from the earth?
What about objects in orbit? They are constantly accelerating (i.e. their vector of movement is changing) but do they experience GTD?

The theory of gravity and velocity both gravity but also are affected by velocity both gravity but also are affected.
An object the result of relativity is the forces acting on an object objects in orbit not only experience the rate at which clocks tick is the forces acting on an object objects in orbit not only experience the result of relativity is the gravity.
An object the rate at which clock ticks.
The condition of space and not only experience the gravity produced by velocity both gravity produced by velocity both gravity and velocity change the theory of the rate.
The top of my initial gut feeling is that know off the top of my initial.
