Because potential energy is directly proportional to all the factors that yield it's value.
Potential Energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height
So, with everything else being constant increasing the height will increase the potential energy.
potential
Examples of gravitational potential energy include a book sitting on a shelf, a ball at the top of a hill, and a person standing on a diving board.
Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.
When a box is picked up and placed on a shelf, the main types of energy involved are mechanical energy (kinetic energy when the box is being lifted and potential energy when it is placed on the shelf) and gravitational potential energy (due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field). Heat energy may also be generated due to friction between the box and the person picking it up or the shelf.
Yes, the glass jar sitting on a shelf has potential energy because it has the potential to fall due to gravity. This potential energy is stored in the jar due to its position above the ground.
YES!

Gravitational potential energy
a book sitting up on a shelf. gravity can potentionally pull it down if pushed.

Increased
Any body which is not at the centre of mass of another larger body.
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, since the book has the potential to fall due to gravity when it is on the high shelf.
