Weight and height
The mass and distance (weight and height) determine the potential energy. A third factor can be the relative motion of the objects, which does not change the potential but may determine its effect.

Look at the formula for gravitational potential energy. The clues are all there.
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)

Gravitational-potential energy.
It is a type of potential energy, but there are other types of potential energy, too.

If you mean gravitational potential energy, you use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
