Universal Gravitation Principle of Superposition Gravity and the Earth
... For objects near the earth's surface, gravitational potential energy is usually calculated with the familiar equation Ug = mg∆y , with a zero point at some convenient location the ground, the oor, the table top, etc. For objects well above the earth's surface, in orbit or other celestial objects, ...
