==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Gravitational potential''' is the [[Work Done|work done]] per unit [[mass]] to move an [[object]] from [[infinity]] to a point under the influence of one or more [[Gravitational Field|gravitational fields]].

===About Gravitational Potential===
: '''Gravitational potential''' is denoted with a capital '''V'''.
: The units of '''gravitational potential''' are [[Joule]]s per [[kilogram]] (Jkg<sup>-1</sup).
: '''Gravitational potential''' is negative because the [[force]] of [[gravity]] is attractive, so the [[Work Done|work done]] to move [[object]]s towards one another is negative.

===Gravitational Potential Equation===
<math>V=\dfrac{W}{m}</math>

Where

V = '''Gravitational Potential'''

W = [[Work Done]] to move an [[object]] from [[infinity]] to a point.

m = The [[mass]] of the [[object]].
