Gravitational potential energy is potential energy an object stores when its mass and gravitational forces act on it. In your everyday experience gravitational potential energy most often occurs when an object is lifted off a surface. The amount of gravitational potential energy that is stored by the object is equivalent to the amount of energy that was taken to lift it, it is also equal to the amount of energy that would be let loose if it fell back onto the surface that started on. There are a few factors that decide the gravitational potential energy of an object are the distance from the surface, the mass of the object being lifted, and the pull of gravity.
