GPE = Weight * Height (in suitable units) where the height is measured from some arbitrary reference point.

Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
The gravitational potential energy is equal to: GPE = mass x gravity x height Or equivalently: GPE = weight x height
Weight and height.
E= -GmM/r is the gravitational potential energy. It depends on the product of the masses and the separation r and of course the gravitational constant G.. ---- or in simpler terms weight and height
Relative gravitational potential energy.
