Explanation:

Gravitational energy is the potential energy a physical object with mass has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is potential energy associated with the gravitational field. Gravitational energy is dependent on the masses of two bodies, their distance apart and the gravitational constant.

Gravitational energy (GPE) is the potential energy a physical object with mass has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is potential energy associated with the gravitational field. Gravitational energy is dependent on the masses of two bodies, their distance apart and the gravitational constant (G).[1]

In everyday cases (i.e. close to the Earth's surface), the gravitational field is considered to be constant. For such scenarios the Newtonian formula for potential energy can be reduced to:

{\displaystyle U=mgh} {\displaystyle U=mgh}

where {\displaystyle U} U is the gravitational potential energy, {\displaystyle m} m is the mass, {\displaystyle g} g is the gravitational field, and {\displaystyle h} h is the height.[1] This formula treats the potential energy as a positive quantity.
