This is somewhat of a moot point in General Relativity, the current theory for gravity. This theory describes how spacetime warps due to the presence of energy, but energy contained within the gravitational field itself is excluded in the procedure.
There are some good arguments for this. For examples according to the equivalence principle a gravitational field should be indistinguishable from a constant accelerating frame, but the former would contain energy while the latter does not, violating said principle.
However, a gravitational field can contain energy; this can be seen for example in gravitational waves (which can carry energy away from a binary star system), but General Relativity handles this is a very complex way, and it can only be directly calculated in same rare (simple) cases (the binary system emitting gravitational waves being an example of such a case).
This has been used as an argument against general relativity from time to time, but experiments agree very well with general relativity and no serious alternative has of yet been proposed.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravity energy?
Gravity is not energy but a force of attraction between objects with mass. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects firmly planted on the ground. Energy can be produced by the movement and interaction of objects influenced by gravity, but gravity itself is not considered a form of energy.
What is energy from gravity?
Energy from gravity refers to the potential energy stored in an object when it is elevated above the ground. This energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the object falls due to gravity, such as in a waterfall or a rollercoaster ride. The amount of energy depends on the object's mass, height, and gravitational force.
Is gravity an energie?
Gravity is not a form of energy itself, but it is a force that is responsible for attracting objects with mass towards each other. Energy can be associated with the movement or position of objects influenced by gravity, such as potential energy when an object is lifted against gravity or kinetic energy when it falls due to gravity.
Is gravity a form of energy?
No, gravity is not a form of energy. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other due to their mass, while energy is the ability to do work or cause change.
Which force is often associated with an object's potential energy?
Gravitational force is often associated with an object's potential energy. The potential energy of an object is related to its position in a gravitational field, and the force of gravity acting on the object determines how much potential energy it has.
Is gravity kinetic energy?
There is no "gravity kinetic energy". There is gravitational energy (a type of potential energy), and - separately - there is kinetic energy (the energy of movement).

Energy can be produced by the movement and interaction of objects influenced by gravity, but gravity itself is not considered a form of energy.
Is gravity potential or kinetic energy?
Gravity is a force more so than an energy
Is gravity a mechanical energy?
Gravity is not energy. It's just something that causes forces.
Is gravity a living thing?
i guess not but the mass and energy in the earth makes gravity. I guess... the energy and mass in the earth makes gravity.

How can potential energy be changed by gravity?
Potential energy can be changed by gravity when an object is lifted or lowered in a gravitational field. Moving an object against gravity increases its potential energy, while moving it with gravity decreases its potential energy. The gravitational force acting on the object determines the amount of potential energy it possesses.
When gravity is pulling on something does the something have kinetic energy?
The object can be stationary and have gravity pulling on it ergo no kinetic energy
Does energy exist without gravity?
Of course,energy forms like Light,sound do not have any connection with gravity.
