the fomula is p.e=Mgh
where g is the acceleration due to gravity & M is the mass which is in kg & H is the height.

It is different because gravitational potential energy is when something is getting pulled by gravity and potential energy is stored energy which means that it is not moving and the energy is not getting released as gravitational energy is.
Gravitational Potential Energy is equal to Potential Energy therefore the formula for GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is PE=mass x gravity x height therefore the formula is PE=mgh
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
Relative gravitational potential energy.
E = mgh, where E is the potential energy, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the distance from rest.
