1. Gravitational energy

   Gravitational energy or gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is the potential energy associated with the gravitational field, which is released (converted into kinetic energy) when the objects fall towards each other. Gravitational potential energy increases when two objects are brought further apart. For two pairwise interacting point particles, the gravitational potential energy U {\displaystyle U} is given by where M {\displaystyle M} and m {\displaystyle m} are the masses of the two particles, R {\displaystyle R} is the distance between them, and G {\displaystyle G} is the gravitational constant.Close to the Earth's surface, the gravitational field is approximately constant, and the gravitational potential energy of an object reduces to where m {\displaystyle m} is the object's mass, g = G M ⊕ / R ⊕ 2 {\textstyle g={GM_{\oplus }}/{R_{\oplus }^{2}}} is the gravity of Earth, and h {\displaystyle h} is the height of the object's center of mass above a chosen reference level.

1. Gravitational energy

   Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with the gravitational field. This phrase is found frequently in scientific writings about quasars and other active galaxies. Quasars generate and emit their energy from a very small region. The emission of large amounts of power from a small region requires a power source far more efficient than the nuclear fusion that powers stars. The release of gravitational energy by matter falling towards a massive black hole is the only process known that can produce such high power continuously. Stellar explosions – supernovas and gamma-ray bursts – can do so, but only for a few weeks.
