How Potential Energy Calculator works
Gravitational potential energy in joules = mass × gravity × height.
Constant supplied gravity and a chosen reference height. Signed heights are allowed; no inverse-square orbital potential. Finite real numbers only. Display uses up to 12 significant digits; binary floating-point arithmetic can introduce rounding.
