Explanation:
In general, we define a potential energy relative to a zero at some point. Therefore, if we say there is zero potential energy on the surface of the Earth, the stone has zero potential energy.

Answer:
PE = 0 J
Explanation:
The Potential energy is the energy by the virtue of the position of the body.
expression of potential energy
PE = m g h
where h is the height of the body.
When the body is kept at the surface there height of the stone is equal to zero.
PE = m g x 0
PE = 0 J
hence, if the height of the stone is zero then Potential energy is equal to zero.
