Physics talks about two different types of energy. Kinetic Energy is the energy contained in motion, which Potential Energy is the energy of position.
Think about a large rock, still, stopped on the edge of a cliff. The rock has potential energy, based on its position above the ground. If you push the rock off the cliff, the rock will fall or roll down the cliff, gaining speed all the time until it hits the ground. This energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
But imagine that you have a giant mattress and a big spring; the rock will hit the mattress and compress the spring, If you snap a hook on the spring when it is most compressed, you will capture the kinetic energy and re-convert it into potential energy, in this case the energy trapped in a coiled spring.
Or consider a battery. The battery is still and unmoving, but it contains potential energy. If you release the potential electrical energy by running the electricity from the battery through a motor, you can convert the potential energy of the battery into the kinetic energy of the spinning motor, which may drive a fan causing air to move. Again, you convert potential energy into kinetic energy.
Your battery is all drained, and you want to recharge it. So you plug your battery into a battery charger, and into the wall. Far away, in a mountain lake, water is approaching a high dam. The water, high in the mountains, has potential energy, but as it spills into the intake pipes of the dam, the water falls and converts its potential energy into kinetic energy. The racing water with lots of kinetic energy now, flows against a steel turbine with angled blades, and the rushing water transfers some of its kinetic energy of motion into the turbine's kinetic energy of spinning. Connected to a generator above, the spinning turbine strains to spin a massive generator, converting the kinetic energy of the falling water into potential energy in the electric grid. Some of that electricity makes it to your house and charges up your battery.
A stretched rubber band has potential energy due to its stored elastic potential energy. When released, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the rubber band snaps back to its original shape.

Potential energy is the stored energy an object possesses due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy. Active energy, on the other hand, typically refers to the energy being actively used or transformed at a given moment, such as kinetic energy when an object is in motion.
A stretched spring has potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy, because it has the potential to do work when it returns to its original position.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It is defined as the work done in moving the object from a reference point (usually infinity) to its current position without changing its speed. This potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, as the object moves within the gravitational field.
Wind is an example of kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. In the case of wind, it is the energy associated with the movement of air molecules.
A non-example of heat energy would be light energy, which does not involve the transfer of thermal energy but rather of electromagnetic energy.

Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic, chemical, electrical, or thermal energy depending on the system or process involved. Gravity, chemical bonds, or electrical potential can store potential energy that can be converted into various forms of energy when those bonds are broken or released.
Potential energy is the stored energy an object possesses due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy. Active energy, on the other hand, typically refers to the energy being actively used or transformed at a given moment, such as kinetic energy when an object is in motion.
Potetial energy is the energy an object has because of its position or location, or its energy of position.
A stretched spring has potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy, because it has the potential to do work when it returns to its original position.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It is defined as the work done in moving the object from a reference point (usually infinity) to its current position without changing its speed.
