Heya dude!
In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge.
Formula-:
mgh
where m is Mass,g is Gravity,h is the height .
Pls mark my answer as brainliest ✌
Don't forget to follow me ☺

hey bro your formula is for change in gravitational potential energy when body is moved from surface of earth to a distance h above earth surface

The gravitational potential energy of a body at a point is defined as amount of work done in bringing the body from infinity to that point against the gravitational force.
when body is at infinity it's gravitational potential energy is zero that is maximum.It is called zero level of potential energy.
formula for gravitational potential energy is
U= -GMm/r
where G is universal gravitational constant
M is mass of Earth
m is mass of body
r is distance of body from centre of Earth
hope it helps u
