GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
What is gravitational potential energy?
When we are above the surface of the earth we have gravitational potential energy The amount we have all depends of on the height the object is above the earths surface. It is a type of stored energy.
Example:
Skydiving- You are really far off the ground when you skydive so that means you have more Gravitational potential energy so you will fall at quicker rate.
