Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator

Mass (M) = kg
Distance (x) = m
Gravitational Potential = Joule

In physics, Gravitational Potential energy is energy stored in a system of forcefully interacting physical entities. The SI unit is the joule(symbol J).

Gravitational Potential energy Formula:

Gravitational Potential = (G×M) / x

Where, G = 6.673 × 10-11 N(m/kg)^2, x = Distance, M = Mass

To find the gravitational Potential energy of the earth due to the sun, the mass of Sun is 1.99 × 1030 Kgs and earth is 150 million Kms away from sun

The Gravitational potential energy is = Gm/r = 6.673 × 10-11 × 1.99 × 1030/ 150× 109 = 8.85 × 108 J/Kg.
