Question

What is gravitational potential?​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gravitational potential refers to the potential energy due to the effects of Gravitational force on an object. It increases with the increase in altitude and gravitational force.
