Answer:
The object has the potential to fall due to gravity. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's weight and its height above the ground (GPE = weight x height). Elastic potential energy is due to an object's shape. ... The more it is stretched or compressed, the greater its elastic potential energy is.

Answer:
The main difference between gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy is that the origin of gravitational potential energy is the gravitational forces acting between two massive bodies whereas the origin of elastic potential energy is the electrostatic forces between molecules that make up a material.
