Usually the force of gravity
gravity
For materials such as rubber I would call it elastic energy. For compressed gases I would just call it mechanical energy-the compressed gas exerts a force which would move a piston against another force, and that constitutes work.
Mechanical Energy is of two types.1. Potential Energy.2. Kinetic Energy.The energy possessed by a body at rest is called potential energy. Example : The energy possessed by a brick on top of a wall is an example of potential energy.
shape or configuration of objects causes elastic potential energy as this is the energy stored in the object which allows it to deform itself.The spring regains its shape due to restoring force which is always opposite to the force applied
When an object is at a position above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. This is so because of the force of gravity that tends to pull objects to the ground.
The four forces affecting matter are (in order of increasing strength): 1. Gravitational Force : hydraulic energy or water falls 2. Electromagnetic Force : electricity as secondary energy 3. Weak Nuclear Force: ionizing radiation4. Strong Nuclear Force: nuclear fissionWhenever there is a force, or more precisely a so-called "conservative force", there is an associated potential energy. Each of the fundamental forces have related potential energy; thus, there is gravitational, electrical & magnetical, and nuclear potential energy.I am not entirely sure about the weak force; but I assume it would be lumped together with the strong force, in the category of "nuclear energy".Chemical energy, as well as elastic energy, are also types of potential energy that are related to electrical forces.
Potential energy refers to the energy arising from the arrangement of a system of objects (particles), which interact with each other. Here, interaction means that objects apply force on each other. A change in the arrangement brings about a change in the forces interacting on the objects and the associated potential energy.

Gravitational force is most commonly associated with potential energy.Whenever we lift an object (move it further from the earth's center), like taking it from the bottom of a hill to the top, or taking it from the floor and placing it on a shelf, table, or chair; we increase the potential energy of the object.
Any object that could fall to the ground has potential energy that would be exerted by the force of gravity when it falls.
If you leave earths gravitational field (sufficiently), objects will have a very negligible gravitational potential energy. You can consider it zero. But what if it were a compressed spring that you brought out into 'deep space'? It would still retain elastic potential energy. A bomb in deep space would still have explosive(?) potential energy. With that said, if you had two or more objects in deep space, they would have gravitational potential energy between the group of them, but not the earth.

Gravitational potential energy pulls objects back down
Gravitational potential energy
Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force. If an object falls from one point to another point inside a gravitational field, the force of gravity will do positive work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will decrease by the same amount.
