That refers to gravitational potential energy - energy related to a gravitational field. If you lift an object up, its gravitational potential energy increases; if it falls back down, its gravitational potential energy decreases.

How Gravitational potential energy affected by height?

The higher off the ground something is, the greater its GPE is. GPE=mass x gravitatonal constant x height.

What do you call the measurement of the gravitatonal force acting on an object?

You call that the "weight" of the object.


Because the sun is so far away do we feel its strong gravitatonal pull?

Yes, its pull is the reason we orbit around it.


How do tides change between moon phases?

it moves in and out through he moon and earths gravitatonal pull it gets stronger with the moon when it is full and less he there is a new moon :)


What are objects from which light cannot escape because of the immense gravitatonal pull at its surface called?

They are called black holes. Their gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape from them, leading to them being invisible and appearing as "black" in space.


When gravity changes the of an object changes?

depend on how big or small the object is, the greater the more gravtational pull it has, smaller the object is less gravatational pull it has. if the object changes mass well that when the gravitatonal pull becomes either stronger or weaker, but all depends.

What makes the planets move?

The planets move in their orbits around the sun due to a combination of momentum from their initial formation and the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational attraction keeps them in motion and prevents them from flying off into space.


Does black holes have gravitatonal force if not then which force?

Yes, black holes have gravitational force. This force arises due to the immense mass packed into a small volume, creating a strong gravitational pull that can even prevent light from escaping, giving rise to the phenomenon of an event horizon.
