Good Evening Friend
Hope it helps

Explanation:
- Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position or height. The energy is stored as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Earth for the object.
- Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. ... Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.

Answer:
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 .
Expression for Gravitational Potential Energy at Height (h) – Derive ΔU = mgh. When, h<<R, then, R + h = R and g = GM/R2.
