- Gravitational fields = The Gravitational field is the gravitational force per unit mass that would be exerted on a small mass at that point. It is a vector field, and points in the direction of the force that the mass would feel.
- Gravitational potential = The gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is the work done per unit mass that would have to be done by some externally applied force to bring a massive object to that point from some defined position of zero potential, usually infinity
- Gravitational intensity = a vector quantity related to the condition at any point under gravitational influence the measure of which is the gravitational force exerted upon a unit mass placed at the point.

Answer:
- gravitational field --The gravitational field at a point is defined as the force per unit mass that would act on a particle located at that point. If a test mass m is subject to a force F at some point, and F depends only on the particle's mass and position, then the gravitational field at that point is defined as. g = Fm.
- Gravitational potential--In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge.
- Gravitational intensity a vector quantity related to the condition at any point under gravitational influence the measure of which is the gravitational force exerted upon a unit mass placed at the point in question — compare gravitational potential.
