Gravitational potential graph for one planet
- The gravitational potential of a planet is given by the equation \(E = -\frac{GM}{r}\).
- M represents the mass of the planet.
- G is the Universal Gravitational constant.
- As G and M remain constant gravitational potential decreases a r increases. Thus, \( V \propto \frac{1}{r} \)
- Gravitational potential is negative as gravitational force is attractive.
