Gravity, in its physical sense, cannot be stored. It is not possible, for instance, to make an object which will build up energy and then spontaneously attract other objects (like a Star Trek "tractor beam").
However, the energy from gravity can be stored by performing work to lift an object off the ground, then suspending it there. For instance, if you are in a car and you drive to the top of the hill, the motor of the car burned fuel to get to the top. When you are at the top, however, you can simply drive the car downhill, releasing the stored potential energy of gravity to provide acceleration downhill.

What type of energy stored due to gravity and height above the ground?
Potential Energy
Energy stored by things attracted to each other by the force of gravity is what type of potential energy?
Gravitational
What is potintial?
Potential energy is energy that is stored within an object, and this energy may do work. Gravity is what gives the potential energy to any object, and is a result of gravity pulling down
Is potential energy is energy that is stored or available for use by body?
Yes. You can also think of potential energy as energy applied against some force, such as gravity, the force of a spring, etc.
Why lighter pendulum stop faster than the heavy one?
more mass in motion= higher stored energy, requiring more forces (friction, gravity) to still the momentum of the heavier object.
What type of energy stored due to gravity and height above the ground?
Potential Energy
What alternative energy is reliant on gravity?
Hydropower uses the gravitational potential energy stored in water.

How does gravity affect the water cycle?
The two things that power the water cycle are solar energy and gravity. The atmosphere is where evaporated and transpired water are stored. After it condenses, it's gravity that pulls it back to the earth in the forms of rain, snow, hail, frost, dew, and sleet.
What exactly is potenial energy?
Potential Energy Is Stored Energy The Formula For Potential Energy Of An Object is Ep=mgh Which Is Mass Mulitpled by Gravity Then By Height.
In relationship to other foods where should raw meat be stored?
At the lowest level in height, and at the coolest. Gravity causes liquids to leak down, and can cross contaminate other foods.
Is potential energy energy that is stored or available for use by body?
Yes. You can also think of potential energy as energy applied against some force, such as gravity, the force of a spring, etc.

What is a type of energy stored in a object because of its position?
That would be 'potential energy'. For example a mass at some hight has potential energy from gravity, which would be converted to other forms if it fell. Other examples would be a charge in an electric field, or a quark very close to another (anti)quark or two.
Why lighter pendulum stop faster than the heavy one?
more mass in motion= higher stored energy, requiring more forces (friction, gravity) to still the momentum of the heavier object.
What are possible reasons for any difference between the work done and kinetic energy?
kinetic is not a potential energy because kinetic energy is made of movement but potential energies are stored but can be used
